DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The rates of both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers have been increasing in the U.S. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun and artificial sources (such as tanning beds) is a key risk factor. Since 1993, Dr. Mayer has conducted a series of community-based skin cancer prevention studies to assess and modify the sun safety behaviors of both adults and children. Specific high-risk environments or populations targeted include children enrolled in swimming classes, pharmacists interacting with patients (regarding photosensitizing medications, etc.), zoo visitors, outdoor workers, and operators and patrons of indoor tanning facilities. Dr. Mayer also has a strong track record of mentoring graduate students and junior level faculty, specifically encouraging their involvement in and contributions to cancer prevention and control research. The K05 award would provide Dr. Mayer with release time from teaching and committee assignments, which would enable her to conduct more studies and provide more focused mentoring. A controlled trial evaluating a sun safety intervention for U.S.P.S. letter carriers is in progress. New studies planned for the award period include a multi-level assessment of the predictors of indoor tanning by adolescents, an intervention trial to enhance coping, prevention, and screening behaviors among families of melanoma patients, a trial to assess whether pharmacist advice increases sun safety behaviors of pharmacy customers, and a study to evaluate dissemination strategies for the sun safety program for letter carriers.

描述（由申请人提供）：在美国，黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的发生率一直在增加来自太阳和人造源（例如晒黑床）的紫外线辐射（UVR）是关键风险因素。 自1993年以来，Mayer博士进行了一系列基于社区的皮肤癌预防研究，以评估和修改成人和儿童的太阳安全行为。 针对性的特定高危环境或人群包括参加游泳课程的儿童，与患者互动的药剂师（有关光敏药物等），动物园访客，室外工人，以及室内晒黑设施的操作员和顾客。 Mayer博士还拥有指导研究生和初级教师的良好记录，特别鼓励他们参与和对预防癌症预防和控制研究的贡献。 K05奖将为Mayer博士提供教学和委员会任务的释放时间，这将使她能够进行更多的研究并提供更多专注的指导。 一项评估U.S.S. Sun安全干预措施的对照试验字母载体正在进行中。 计划期间计划的新研究包括对青少年室内晒黑的预测因素进行多层次评估，一项干预试验，以增强黑色素瘤患者家庭中的应对，预防和筛查行为，一项试验，一项试验，以评估药剂师建议是否会提高药房客户的太阳安全行为，并为评估Sunemination for Sun Safety of Sun Safety Cranser的研究。
