Abstract

Sunscreen use is recommended for the prevention of sunburn and skin cancer. Little is known regarding sunscreen availability in high versus low income communities. We analyzed sunscreen availability in three large metropolitan counties to determine the relationship between availability and community demographics. We included sun care products in all pharmacies and supermarkets open as of July 2013 in representative high and low income zip codes in Cook County, Illinois, Miami-Dade County, Florida, and San Diego County, California. We recorded the percentage of tanning oil, sunscreens with a sun protection factor (SPF) < 15, SPF > 15, physical sunscreens, spray sunscreens, mean price per ounce (PPO), and mean SPF. Of the total products assessed, 11.0% were tanning oils, with physical sunscreens accounting for only 3.4% of the available sunscreens and 46.2% of sunscreens being spray-on. A comparison between higher and lower income zip codes demonstrated a significantly increased percentage of sunscreens with SPF < 15 in high income zip codes. Lower income zip codes had higher percentages of sunscreens with SPF > 15 and higher PPO, even when taking into account SPF. Further studies of sunscreen usage patterns in different populations must take into account sunscreen availability and price, as these significantly differ based on the community demographic.

评估当前的防晒霜市场:美国三个大都市县防晒霜可用性的横断面研究。

建议使用防晒霜来预防晒伤和皮肤癌。人们对高收入社区和低收入社区的防晒霜供应情况知之甚少。我们分析了三个大城市县的防晒霜可用性，以确定可用性与社区人口统计学之间的关系。截至2013年7月，我们在伊利诺斯州库克县、佛罗里达州迈阿密戴德县和加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥县具有代表性的高收入和低收入邮政编码的所有药店和超市中纳入了防晒产品。我们记录了晒黑油、防晒系数(SPF)为15的防晒霜、物理防晒霜、喷雾防晒霜、每盎司平均价格(PPO)和平均SPF的百分比。在所有接受评估的产品中，11.0%为晒黑油，物理防晒霜仅占可用防晒霜的3.4%，而喷雾防晒霜则占46.2%。高收入地区和低收入地区的比较表明，即使将SPF值考虑在内，SPF值为15和PPO值更高的防晒霜的比例也明显增加。对不同人群防晒霜使用模式的进一步研究必须考虑防晒霜的可获得性和价格，因为这些因素在社区人口统计上存在显著差异。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
