In this context, barriers can exist at the following three levels: Knowledge of sun safety, acquisition of sun safety information, and implementation of specific sun protective measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The investigation reported herein sought to elucidate barriers to sun safety that individuals face. Ultimately, this study aimed to qualify the possible barriers that lead to a misalignment of current recommendations and sun safety practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study design was observational, and the instrument used for data collection was a self-administered questionnaire. Thirty-four outpatients of the RK Schachter Dermatology Centre of Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre (SWCHSC), Toronto, Ontario, as well as 27 outpatients of the Sport Care facility of SWCHSC were enrolled in the study. They represent the target population of those who are at greater risk of developing sun-related skin lesions. Data were analyzed using standard parametric and nonparametric techniques. Comparisons were made between the two outpatient groups and between other groups within the sample.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In general, level of sun safety knowledge was fairly high, though compliance to sun safety measures was suboptimal in both populations. There were no significant differences regarding level of knowledge between the 2 outpatient groups. Deficiencies in knowledge centered around risk factors for skin cancer. Frequently cited barriers to sun safety include inconvenience (34% of respondents), forgetting to use sun safety measures (49%), a desire to be tanned (33%), and protective clothing being too hot to wear (56%). High compliers were notable for their great likelihood of being counseled by a physician about sun safety ( P &lt; 0.025) and their slightly higher mean knowledge scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These data support that knowledge alone does not predict compliance and that sun awareness campaigns should be evaluated based on their ability to affect behavior.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10227-003-0126-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,1,29]],"date-time":"2004-01-29T08:07:00Z","timestamp":1075363620000},"page":"292-299","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Barriers to Sun Safety in a Canadian Outpatient Population"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Andrea K.","family":"Boggild","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lynn","family":"From","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"RK Schachter Dermatology Centre, Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Online publication: 28 July 2003"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-s10227-003-0126-9","volume-title":"Cancer Facts and Figures","author":"American Cancer Society","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr2-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/canjclin.46.1.5"},{"key":"bibr3-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/canjclin.47.1.5"},{"key":"bibr4-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/php.1990.51.6.765"},{"key":"bibr5-s10227-003-0126-9","first-page":"343","volume":"47","author":"Center for Disease Control and Prevention","year":"1998","journal-title":"Morb Mortal Wkly Rep"},{"key":"bibr6-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-3797(97)00006-8"},{"key":"bibr7-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-3797(97)00007-X"},{"key":"bibr8-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4725.1988.tb03373.x"},{"key":"bibr9-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1989.03430150065027"},{"key":"bibr10-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0733-8635(18)30379-6"},{"key":"bibr11-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0215(19971009)73:2<198::AID-IJC6>3.0.CO;2-R"},{"key":"bibr12-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-100-2-258"},{"key":"bibr13-s10227-003-0126-9","volume-title":"Health education planning: A diagnostic approach","author":"Green L","year":"1980"},{"key":"bibr14-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/109019817400200405"},{"key":"bibr15-s10227-003-0126-9","first-page":"39","volume-title":"Health Behavior and Health Education: Theory, Research, and Practice","author":"Rosenstock I.","year":"1991"},{"key":"bibr16-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1997.tb03658.x"},{"key":"bibr17-s10227-003-0126-9","first-page":"380","volume":"86","author":"Leinweber C","year":"1995","journal-title":"Can J Public Health"},{"key":"bibr18-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1995.tb02626.x"},{"key":"bibr19-s10227-003-0126-9","first-page":"365","volume":"45","author":"Martin R.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Br J Gen Pract"},{"key":"bibr20-s10227-003-0126-9","first-page":"155","volume":"60","author":"Su L.","year":"1997","journal-title":"Cutis"},{"key":"bibr21-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.1998.02366.x"},{"key":"bibr22-s10227-003-0126-9","first-page":"681","volume":"22","author":"Marlenga B.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Oncol Nurs Forum"},{"key":"bibr23-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1990.01670280061010"},{"key":"bibr24-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00844885"},{"key":"bibr25-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1993.tb00201.x"},{"key":"bibr26-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0091-7435(92)90082-S"},{"key":"bibr27-s10227-003-0126-9","volume-title":"Social Foundations of Thought and Action: A Social Cognitive Theory","author":"Bandura A.","year":"1986"},{"key":"bibr28-s10227-003-0126-9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Glanz K, Lew R, Song V, Factors associated with skin cancer prevention practices in a multiethnic population.
