DESCRIPTION:

Skin cancer affects people of all ages. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer over a lifetime; 13 million Americans live with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer, and nearly 800,000 Americans live with a history of melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

Skin cancer is a chiefly lifestyle disease and is highly preventable. The most common cause is exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

How to participate?

Encourage families to adopt good habits together, like wearing sunscreen and limiting their time in the sun.

Motivate teachers and administrators to teach kids about the harm of UV radiation and why it's essential to protect yourself.

Identify youth leaders in your community who can talk to their peers about taking steps to prevent skin cancer.

Partner with a local hospital, state fair, or similar organization to host a skin cancer screening event.

Add information about skin cancer prevention to your newsletter.

Tweet about Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month.

Host a community event where families can learn how to prevent skin cancer.

Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month is a widely recognized event with non-profit, health care, and government support. Check local listings to find an event near you.
