While most students had positive attitudes toward photoprotection and negative perceptions of tanning, notable differences emerged. Regular sunscreen use was more challenging for Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous respondents. Pressure to tan was highest among Indigenous and Asian respondents, and Arab respondents most associated tanning with aging. Indigenous and Hispanic respondents had the highest tanning rates, while Indigenous and White respondents had the highest sunburn rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sun\u2010safety perceptions and behaviors varied across racial\/ethnic groups. Most students understood that sun exposure contributes to skin cancer, recognized the importance of sunscreen, and acknowledged that darker skin can benefit from sun protection. However, misconceptions remained about sun\u2010protection factor (SPF) meaning, sunscreen use on cloudy days, and the belief that sunscreen fully prevents tanning\u2010related damage. Future studies should explore how sun\u2010safety education can be better tailored for diverse populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.16034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,13]],"date-time":"2025-08-13T23:48:02Z","timestamp":1755128882000},"page":"985-992","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Sun\u2010Safety Understanding Among Canadian Elementary Students: A Survey\u2010Based Cohort Study Across Racial\/Ethnic Groups"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3342-265X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aliyah","family":"King","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa  Ottawa Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5030-7487","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Russell","family":"Leong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa  Ottawa Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3363-3587","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reetesh","family":"Bose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa  Ottawa Ontario Canada"},{"name":"Division of Dermatology University of Ottawa, and the Ottawa Hospital  Ottawa Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/pr0.1999.84.3.831"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525\u20101470.2009.00940.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/EDE.0000000000000963"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2016.3453"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.annder.2023.03.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ypmed.2015.09.027"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471\u20102458\u201012\u2010985"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.143.8.983"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.13299"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ecc.12275"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archdermatol.2009.39"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2013.745"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ypmed.2021.106601"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525\u20101470.2009.00908.x"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_13_16_1","first-page":"126","article-title":"Sun Protection Behaviors Among African Americans","volume":"9","author":"Hall H.
