Collegiate athletes who participate in outdoor sports are repeatedly exposed to ultraviolet radiation. A previous study found that 85% of collegiate athletes had not applied sunscreen in the past 7 days of practice. We conducted a survey study of collegiate athletes examining frequency and formulation of sunscreen use, parental and coach encouragement for sun protection, and the impact of family history of skin cancer upon sunscreen use. After approval from the institutional review board at Eastern Virginia Medical School and consent from coaches of collegiate athletic teams, a link for an anonymous, voluntary, Internet-based survey was sent to the coach to forward to their athletes. Participants answered questions to multiple-choice questions. Statistical analysis was performed using software (SAS, Version 9.2, SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC).
