Abstract：
Sunscreen greatly reduces the risk of skin cancer and is recommended as a critical component of sun protection. There is limited literature on patient preferences for sunscreen characteristics. A cross-sectional survey was administered to patients in an urban city and rural area in the United States. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) was consistently the most important factor for patients when selecting sunscreen. However, numerous preferences for sunscreen characteristics vary between the 2 regions, including dermatologist recommendation, texture, ingredients, cost, broad-spectrum, and brand. Gaps in patient knowledge of sunscreen recommendations may be present and further educational programs may be necessary. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(8):e171-e172. doi:10.36849/JDD.8449.
摘要：
防晒霜大大降低患皮肤癌的风险，被建议作为防晒的关键组成部分。关于患者对防晒特性的偏好的文献有限。对美国城市和农村地区的患者进行了横断面调查。防晒因子（SPF）始终是患者选择防晒霜时最重要的因素。然而,对防晒特性的众多偏好在两个地区之间有所不同，包括皮肤科医生的建议，纹理,成分,成本,广谱,和品牌。患者对防晒霜建议的知识可能存在差距，并且可能需要进一步的教育计划。J药物Dermatol.2024；23（8）：e171-e172。doi:10.36849/JDD.8449.
