The future skin cancer statistics for the youth of the United States are staggering. Traditional educational programs are currently the mainstay to foster sun protective awareness for this high-risk, sun-worshipping population. This study was designed to monitor high school students for both short-term and long-term changes in knowledge and attitude, as well as for any change in behavior, following a standard sun protection intervention. Our results demonstrated that although students had an increase in knowledge, it was insufficient to change their behavior.
