Abstract

Prior work has demonstrated that a novel programme involving dermatologist-led, team-based education of student athletes (SAs), coaches, and athletic trainers termed Stanford University Network for Sun Protection, Outreach, Research, and Teamwork (SUNSPORT) improved photoprotective behaviours in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) SAs. Our current study investigated the use of an alternative, video-based form of SUNSPORT at Cal and UCLA. We demonstrate a trend for increasing sunscreen use amongst SAs with a more feasible programme.
