description Background Data regarding patient perceptions and behaviors about sun-protection measures while driving are lacking. Objectives This study evaluates patients’ awareness of the importance of sun protection while in an automobile, and assesses perceptions about and compliance with sun protection. A secondary objective was to detect any significant laterality in melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers. Methods We performed a retrospective survey of patients seen at a Mohs micrographic surgery clinic.

Methods We performed a retrospective survey of patients seen at a Mohs micrographic surgery clinic. Results Significantly fewer patients reported wearing sunscreen while in an automobile when compared with general daily sunscreen use (52% vs 27%, P  &lt; .05). Most respondents did not think they needed to use sunscreen while driving, especially if the windows were closed. Those who believed they were protected from sun damage while in a car were much less likely to use sunscreen (12% vs 46%, P  &lt; .05). There was a significant left-sided predominance of nonmelanoma skin cancers, except in patients who used automobiles with tinted windows. Limitations This retrospective survey study design is not as ideal as a randomized controlled trial. Additional limitations of this study include small sample size, selection bias, and recall bias. Conclusion Our results reveal poor patient awareness of and compliance with sun-protection measures while in an automobile. Skin cancer prevention efforts should be modified to specifically address automobile-related sun exposure.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0190-9622</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1097-6787</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2012.12.964</identifier><identifier>PMID: 23384798</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Mosby, Inc</publisher><subject>Aged ; Aged, 80 and over ; Automobile Driving ; Dermatology ; driving ; Female ; Health Behavior ; Humans ; laterality ; Male ; melanoma ; Melanoma - pathology ; Melanoma - prevention &amp; control ; Middle Aged ; Retrospective Studies ; skin cancer ; Skin Neoplasms - pathology ; Skin Neoplasms - prevention &amp; control ; sun protection ; sunscreen ; Sunscreening Agents - therapeutic use ; ultraviolet</subject><ispartof>Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2013-06, Vol.68 (6), p.952-956</ispartof><rights>American Academy of Dermatology, Inc.</rights><rights>2012 American Academy of Dermatology, Inc.</rights><rights>Copyright © 2012 American Academy of Dermatology, Inc.
