Abstract in brief

  • Photoprotection behaviors, such as seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and using sunscreen, can help prevent skin damage caused by UV radiation, but their importance in people with skin of color (SOC) is less studied since they are presumed to be less affected by solar damage.
  • Although people with SOC tend to practice some photoprotection methods, like seeking shade and wearing protective clothing, they generally have lower sunscreen use, partly motivated by the desire to prevent pigmentation and sunburn rather than skin cancer.
  • More research is needed to determine if improved photoprotection can reduce skin cancer risk in SOC populations, but regular dermatological advice and skin health education remain vital for overall skin care in these groups.
