In Lebanon, so far, no preliminary survey has been conducted before launching an educational photoprotection campaign, revealing the need of the people according to their background.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Materials and methods: <\/jats:bold> In April 2004, a specific questionnaire was administered to 940 adolescents, aged from 14 to 18 years. The questionnaire comprised 18 multiple\u2010choice questions that established the approximate phototype of teenagers, awareness of ultraviolet (UV) hazard, presence of sufficient information regarding the risk of sun exposure (school, doctor, media) and the use of measures of photoprotection (clothes, sunscreens).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results: <\/jats:bold> The incidence of sunburn in teenagers was high (85.42%) despite their awareness of the risks of unprotected sun exposure. The information regarding sun damage seems to be insufficiently delivered at school and by doctors. The main source of information was television. It was obvious that our adolescents underestimated the value of clothing to protect themselves. The use of clothing comes at the second place after sunscreens. However, the application of sunscreen seems to be inadequate.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions: <\/jats:bold> While solar protection has become part of routine beach behavior for adolescents, there is room for improvement with better application of sunscreen and more use of clothing, especially wearing hats, and seeking shade. However, it is difficult to appreciate the impact of publicity campaigns on the risks of sun exposure in reducing the incidence of melanoma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0781.2006.00198.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,24]],"date-time":"2006-01-24T13:21:53Z","timestamp":1138108913000},"page":"18-21","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Photoprotection in teenagers"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Fouad","family":"El Sayed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alfred","family":"Ammoury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fouad","family":"Nakhle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rola","family":"Dhaybi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie\u2010Claude","family":"Marguery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","first-page":"44","article-title":"Campaigning for melanoma prevention","volume":"18","author":"Marks R.","year":"2004","journal-title":"a model for a health education program"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","first-page":"24","article-title":"Cutaneous malignant melanoma, sun exposure, and sunscreen use","volume":"146","author":"Bastuji\u2010Garin S","year":"2002","journal-title":"epidemiological evidence"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","first-page":"31","article-title":"Photoprotection","volume":"61","author":"Murphy GM.","year":"2002","journal-title":"public campaigns in Ireland and the UK"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","first-page":"181","article-title":"Photoprotection in adolescents","volume":"12","author":"Kim HJ.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Adolesc Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","first-page":"371","article-title":"Understanding the risks of sun exposure","volume":"127","author":"Michel JL","year":"2000","journal-title":"study performed in 241 teenagers"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.2001.04016.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","first-page":"129","article-title":"Sunscreens used at the beach do not protect against erythema","volume":"13","author":"Wulf HC","year":"1997","journal-title":"a new definition of SPF is proposed"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-0960.1999.00309.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","first-page":"374","article-title":"Clothing as protection from ultraviolet radiation","volume":"36","author":"Davis S","year":"1997","journal-title":"which fabric is most effective?"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","first-page":"11","article-title":"Sun protection offered by fabrics","volume":"19","author":"Laperre J","year":"2003","journal-title":"on the relation between effective doses based on different action spectra"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","first-page":"29","article-title":"Influence of wetness on the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of textiles","volume":"18","author":"Gambichler T","year":"2002","journal-title":"in vitro and in vivo measurements"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/120347549800300115"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0625.11.s.1.7.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00128071-200102030-00001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1562\/0031-8655(2000)0710314EOTPEO2.0.CO2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-1097.1998.tb09677.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","first-page":"185","article-title":"Sunscreens","volume":"3","author":"Moloney FJ","year":"2002","journal-title":"safety, efficacy and appropriate use"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_2","first-page":"942","article-title":"Normal vitamin D levels can be maintained despite rigorous photoprotection","volume":"37","author":"Sollitto RB","year":"1997","journal-title":"six years experience with xeroderma pigmentosum"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_2","first-page":"1117","article-title":"Cutaneous malignant melanoma in Scotland","volume":"315","author":"Mackie RM","year":"1997","journal-title":"incidence, survival, and mortality, 1979\u201394.
