Sun exposure and its correlates in the NSW 45 and up cohort study
Investigators:
Bruce Armstrong (PI) and Anne Kricker
Project aim(s):
This project aims to confirm the feasibility and scientific value of using the 45 and Up Study cohort as a resource for research to examine the relationship between sun exposure and skin cancer. Initially, the project will use data collected via the 45 and Up Study baseline questionnaire to systematically determine the strongest predictors of 1. skin cancer and 2. sun exposure. The project aims to publish a scientific paper and to use the analyses required for this publication to assess the extent to which the current methods of measuring sun exposure ask for sufficient information about all relevant behaviours.
