Teenagers who get five or more sunburns between the age of 15 and 20 have an increased risk of getting skin cancer or melanoma. Individuals with darker skin tones have worse outcomes. Parents can influence their children’s’ exposure to sun by helping them avoid direct sunlight between 10am to 2pm, providing sun-protective clothing, and applying sunscreen, however these efforts are often low particularly in parents of children with darker skin tones. While skin cancer occurs less often in children it is important to protect their skin from the sun and reduce their risk of melanoma and other skin cancers. English and Spanish speaking patients and caregivers who self-identify as Hispanic/Latino will be surveyed and interviewed to better understand caregiver knowledge about melanoma awareness and beliefs influencing sun protective in LatinX communities. These interviews will guide the creation of sun

protection education and melanoma prevention materials (handouts, videos, or news media interviews) to address the needs of LatinX patients.
