Sunburn prevalence among adults in the United States, 1999.
Exposure to high levels of sunlight, such as a sunburn, is a strong determinant of melanoma risk. Of 156,354 adults aged > or =18 years, 31.7% (95% confidence interval, 31.3%-32.1%) reported a sunburn in the past year; of adults aged 18 to 29 years, 57.5% reported such a sunburn. Nationwide and statewide skin cancer prevention efforts should target young adults. Periodic monitoring of sunburn is important in evaluating the effectiveness of those efforts.
