Correlates of sun protection behaviors among Hispanic children residing in a high UVR environment

ConclusionFamily sun protection habits are instrumental to Hispanic children's sun safe behaviors, and interventions that engage the family may be most effective. Increasing risk communication to high‐risk subgroups of Hispanic children (those with lighter, more sun reactive skin) is important when developing intervention strategies. However, there is overlap between Hispanic children's sun protection correlates and those observed among non‐Hispanic white children, suggesting that interventions to improve sun protection may generalize across cultural contexts.
