This study assessed pharmacists\u2019 knowledge of skin cancer and factors that impacted skin cancer prevention patient counseling. Participants were recruited using a listserv of pharmacists that were members of the Arizona Pharmacy Alliance (AzPA) or preceptors of the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy. Subjects completed an online questionnaire consisting of knowledge-based questions, questions about patient counseling preferences, and subject demographics. The mean correct score on the Skin Cancer and Sun Exposure Knowledge Indicator was 5.8 \u00b1 1.9. Pharmacists living in Arizona for longer duration were more likely to know the minimum recommended sunscreen sun protection factor (SPF) for adults when outdoors ( P = .003) and factors associated with malignant melanoma prognosis\/survival ( P = .004) but were less likely to know the definition of ABCD acronym ( P = .027). Having a family or friend diagnosed with any form of skin cancer or precancerous skin condition led to more pharmacists knowing the risk factors for developing melanoma ( P = .046) and knowing how often to apply water resistant sunscreen ( P = .035). In conclusion, the length of pharmacy practice in Arizona and having a family member or close friend affected by skin cancer significantly impacted a pharmacists\u2019 knowledge of skin cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0897190010366934","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,7]],"date-time":"2010-05-07T20:12:59Z","timestamp":1273263179000},"page":"358-366","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Skin Cancer Knowledge and Prevention Counseling Among Arizona Pharmacists"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Edward P.","family":"Armstrong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, University of Arizona College of Pharmacy, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charlotte","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, University of Arizona College of Pharmacy, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashley","family":"Van Allen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, University of Arizona College of Pharmacy, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erin","family":"Vincent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, University of Arizona College of Pharmacy, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0897190010366934","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1098-3597(01)90004-3"},{"key":"bibr2-0897190010366934","unstructured":"National Cancer Institute [homepage on the Internet].
