This project contains the datasets and analysis files relevant to the article “Solar UV measured under built-shade in public parks: Findings from a randomized trial in Denver and Melbourne”. The article was accepted for publication in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (August 12, 2022). <br><br>Shade may provide important benefits for protecting the skin and eyes from solar ultraviolet radiation (UV). This study quantified UV levels under built-shade relative to unshaded passive recreation areas (PRAs) over summer months in two cities with comparable skin cancer rates; namely, Denver, Colorado, USA, 39.7392° N, 104.9903° W, and Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 37.8136° S, 144.9631° E. <br><br><br><br><br>
