Skin cancer prevention programs

Skin cancer prevention programs aim to educate the public about reducing the risk of skin cancer primarily caused by excessive sun exposure. These programs promote practices like wearing sunscreen, protective clothing, and hats, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and avoiding tanning beds. They also emphasize the importance of regular skin checks to catch any unusual changes early. Community outreach, school education, and awareness campaigns help increase knowledge about the dangers of UV rays and encourage healthier habits, ultimately aiming to reduce the incidence of skin cancer in the population.
