Differences in photoprotective behaviours based on immigration status: a systematic review

Unprotected sun exposure induces skin damage and potential disease, warranting sun-protection of all modalities. It is documented that sunscreen use is negatively associated with immigration status, while sun-protective clothing and sun-accessory use is more prevalent in these populations. Understanding how diversity in populations changes photoprotective behaviours is imperative for dermatologists in using a holistic lens when tailoring care to their patients. This systematic review examines differences in photoprotective behaviours based on immigration status.

未经保护的日晒会导致皮肤损伤及潜在疾病，因此对所有防护措施均需采取防晒措施。有文献记载，防晒霜的使用与移民身份呈负相关，而防晒衣物及防晒配件的使用在这些人群中则更为普遍。了解人群多样性如何改变光防护行为，对于皮肤科医生在使用全面视角为患者量身定制护理方案时至关重要。本次系统综述旨在探讨基于移民身份的光防护行为差异。
