Photoprotection in Skin of Color: A Scoping Review of Barriers, Behaviors, and Pediatric Considerations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Individuals with skin of color (SOC) can sunburn and develop skin cancer, often presenting at advanced stages with higher morbidity and melanoma-related mortality. However, patient education on photoprotection for SOC populations remains limited. This scoping review investigated the benefits of photoprotection and the factors influencing sun protective behaviors in SOC populations. EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PubMed were searched from January 1st, 2018 to December 31st, 2022, using the overarching terms of "SOC," "skin cancer," and "photoprotection." Original, English-language studies were included, while non-human and incomplete studies were excluded. The review found that while photoprotection benefits SOC populations, individuals within these groups exhibit lower knowledge of and participation in sun-protective behaviors. This gap is influenced by a complex interplay of factors, including cultural values, family dynamics, gender, education, and societal norms surrounding beauty. Misconceptions about innate sun protection contribute to this gap. To address this, culturally relevant education, community engagement, healthcare integration, and increased representation of SOC in dermatological research are essential to improving sun-safe habits in these communities.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
