| Abstract: | BACKGROUND Skin cancer is a prevalent and potentially life-threatening disease, but it is often preventable and highly treatable when detected early, if the subject is aware about the symptoms and warning signs of unusual skin lesions. AIM To assess the level of awareness, knowledge, and attitudes of the general population regarding skin cancer. OBJECTIVES • To assess the level of knowledge the participant posses with reference to skin cancer, its symptoms and preventive measures. • To educate the population about early detection, prevention techniques, and timely medical services to seek for suspicious skin lesions. • To inform public health campaigns, educational initiatives, and policy development to enhance skin cancer prevention and early detection efforts. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a cross sectional study where a Google form is created and prior consent taken from participant as per the guidelines set in the Helsinki Declaration, 2013. The Google form was circulated throughout India across various institutions and individuals to maintain a uniform response from every region possible. No personal information of the participant was collected. RESULT 274 individuals (68.5%) were aged between 18-28 years, and 280 (70%) were female. 70.3% reported knowing the causes for skin cancer. 192 (48%) did not use any sunscreen. 70.3 % of general population has idea about causes of skin cancer out of which 49.3% received the information regarding skin cancer. 30.30% (p value 0.312) have the knowledge of identifying the symptoms for skin cancer.147 out of 340 (43.23%) do not prefer to check the SPF of the sunscreen. Out of 400 participants, 292 people (73%) go for regular medical skin examination and 262 of them prefer medical assistance depending on severity of skin changes. CONCLUSION There was a potential gap in level of understanding about symptoms and preventive measures of skin cancer amongst a large group of people. While a portion of the population already demonstrates proactive behaviors, such as regular skin examinations, visits to dermatologist there remains a substantial opportunity to further encourage positive attitudes and behaviors. |
