Interaction of area-level socioeconomic status and UV radiation on melanoma occurrence in California.
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2010; (11): 2727-33
Melanoma incidence has been correlated strongly and positively with both socioeconomic status (SES) and lower latitude and other measures of ambient UV radiation (UVR). However, because high-SES populations may be colocated in areas of high UVR, we assessed their joint influences on melanoma occurrence to better target subpopulations for melanoma education and screening.
