Research

Research poster assessing sun safety practices, sunscreen use, and socioeconomic status among Melbourne beachgoers, featuring survey charts, demographic tables, regression analysis, and conclusions.

In January 2024, a total of 107 individuals were interviewed across 3 different beaches in Victoria to determine how much the general population in Melbourne knows about sunscreen usage and skin health, and secondly, determining whether increased need for sunscreen access and education correlates to socio-economic index of communities.
