What influences the uptake of information to prevent skin cancer? A systematic review and synthesis of qualitative research
Health Education Research, 10/28/09

Garside R et al. – A coding scheme, framed by the Health Belief Model, was developed by the reviewers and informed analysis and synthesis. This showed that most people perceived their susceptibility to skin cancer, and its severity, as low. While benefits of adopting changed behaviour were acknowledged, there were substantial barriers to this, including positive perceptions of a tan as healthy and attractive and the hassle of covering up or using sunscreen. Peers, parents and media may offer ‘cues to action’ that encourage adoption of preventative behaviour and finally self–efficacy or the perceived ability to make such changes. Effective health education messages will need to address the barriers to adopting protective behaviours identified through this review.
