Summary
This study looked at whether telling people about their genetic risk for melanoma (a serious skin cancer) changes how well they protect themselves from the sun. Over 2,000 adults took part, and researchers measured things like time in the sun, sunscreen use, and sunburns before and after sharing genetic information. The goal was to see if personalized risk messages could encourage healthier sun habits and lower skin cancer risk.
