Objective: Protecting the skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation is critical during adolescence to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer later in life, but adolescents tend to be less likely to engage in sun-protective behaviours than adults. The present study examined changes and trends (2001/02–2011/12) in sun-protection behaviours among adolescents living in Western Australia – a region with high levels of UV radiation.
