Proposed Project

    1. Sun Protection for Children--New--Skin cancer is of increasing 
public health concern because of its increasing incidence. Ultraviolet 
radiation is the primary risk factor for skin cancers, and the risk of 
skin cancer appears to be increased with early life exposures to 
ultraviolet radiation. However, little information is available on sun 
protection for children. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control, 
Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, intends to conduct a survey 
on sun protection for children to monitor sun protection behaviors, 
develop health messages, and target populations for health education as 
part of the National Skin Cancer Prevention Education Program.
    A representative sample of parents of children aged 6 months to 10 
years, selected by random digit dialing, will be interviewed over the 
telephone. The information collected will include demographic 
information, parental knowledge and attitudes about skin cancer and sun 
protection, and sun protection for their children. The total annual 
burden hours are 2,594.
