We sought to determine whether beachgoers protect the dorsal aspect of their feet as frequently as other anatomic sites.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A convenience sample of Galveston, Texas, beachgoers completed anonymous surveys to assess whether the dorsal foot was at risk for ultraviolet radiation (UV-R) injury. Additional information collected included demographics and general knowledge about skin cancer to determine if these variables were significantly correlated with dorsal foot protection from UV-R injury.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Of 216 respondents, only 103 used a topical UV-R barrier on their dorsal feet, while 183 applied sunscreen to the body and 133 applied sunscreen to the legs. Eighty-seven of 113 nonusers explained, \u201cI did not think about it.\u201d The average number of applications of sunscreen per person to the dorsal feet was less than other anatomical body sites (1.19 body applications, 0.86 leg applications, and 0.58 dorsal feet applications per person;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < .001). 58.0% of females applied sunscreen to the dorsal feet compared with only 36.5% of males (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .001).
