The survey focused on demographics, sun-exposure habits, comprehension of risks, and knowledge of photoprotection. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify prevalent trends and discrepancies in sun-protective behaviours among Canadians.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The majority of Canadian respondents (93%) acknowledged the health risks associated with sun exposure. While 81% of Canadians reported using some form of sun protection, only 10% systematically implemented all recommended protective measures, highlighting a gap in knowledge translation. Misconceptions regarding the safety of tanned skin and the effectiveness of sunscreens were widespread, particularly in younger demographics and in individuals with darker skin. Knowledge and preventive behaviours were markedly better among individuals who regularly consult dermatologists.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights general awareness of sun-protective behaviours but a lack of universal and comprehensive implementation among Canadians. Given the knowledge gaps in younger demographics and darker skin phototypes, targeted educational initiatives are essential to correct prevalent misconceptions about sun exposure and tanned skin. Dermatologists and other health care professionals can play a pivotal role in education and primary prevention strategies for skin cancer and other sun-related comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/12034754251322778","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,4]],"date-time":"2025-03-04T13:49:15Z","timestamp":1741096155000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Here Comes the Sun!
