Inuit communities in Canada represent an important emerging population at risk for skin cancers as they face specific, high latitude ultraviolet (UV) exposure risks due to geographic factors and climate change, yet little is known about their sun- protective behaviors and CM risk perceptions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We aimed to evaluate sun protection and skin cancer awareness in Inuit communities of Nunavik.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 4 Nunavik communities during summer 2024.

Sunglasses (56.3%) and long sleeves (62.1%) were the most common protective measures. Nearly half (48.1%) reported checking their skin for moles, while 40% or more were unsure whether CM could be fatal or preventable.
