Funded Activity Summary

Both too much and too little sun exposure result in risks to health, but there are considerable uncertainties in our understanding of the detail, for both risks and benefits. This project focuses on key research gaps that need to be filled before a balanced sun exposure message, appropriate for Australians of different skin types and living in different locations, can be developed and disseminated.
