The skin cancer risk data here represent hundreds of people who have participated in our research events at school and community health fairs as volunteer research subjects.  We have three cancer risk stations that provide information about skin cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer. The skin cancer station contains a video game, a skin microscope and a computerized survey. Currently, only the skin cancer survey data are presented below, which provide information about skin type and sun safety behaviors, such as wearing sunscreen or protective clothing.  Click here for more about the cancer station, how we determined the results, and additional resources.
