- Children's skin is highly vulnerable to UV radiation, making parental sun protection crucial for young kids.
- A study evaluated parental sun protection behaviors at two different times (2010/11 and 2018/19) in Bavaria to see if there were any trends over time.
- Results showed an increase in overall sun protection measures used by parents, but emphasized a need for better promotion of the use of sunglasses and awareness of UV index.
