The future skin cancer statistics for the youth of the United States are staggering. Traditional educational programs are currently the mainstay to foster sun protective awareness for this high-risk, sun-worshipping population.

Our results demonstrated that although students had an increase in knowledge, it was insufficient to change their behavior.
