Sun exposure is the most important risk factor for its development. The amount of exposure required to cause skin cancer has not been quantified, and the impact of sun protective practices is unknown.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objectives\u2002<\/jats:bold>To develop a brief self\u2010administered questionnaire to estimate past and current sun exposure, sun protective practices, and assess the questionnaire\u2019s reliability and validity.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold>The study had three stages: (1) questionnaire formulation, (2) internal reliability and construct validity testing and questionnaire refinement, (3) test\u2013retest and further internal reliability testing.

Construct validity was evidenced by significantly higher prior sun exposure scores and lower current sun behaviour scores in subjects with a history of non\u2010melanoma skin cancer.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Limitations\u2002<\/jats:bold>Self\u2010reported questionnaires, though efficient and low cost, may be subject to recall error and bias.

It may provide useful measures of past and present sun exposure and current sun behaviour, which may be useful in studies of skin cancer incidence and risk
