Increases in melanoma among adolescent girls and young women in California: trends by socioeconomic status and UV radiation exposure.
Arch Dermatol. 2011; (7): 783-9
During the past 3 decades in the United States, melanoma incidence among non-Hispanic white girls and women aged 15 to 39 years has more than doubled. To better understand which specific subpopulations of girls and women experienced this increase and thereby to target public health interventions, we assessed the relationship between melanoma incidence and small-area level measures of socioeconomic status (SES) and UV radiation (UV-R) exposure.
