Summary

Brief summary (as posted)

The proposed project is a pilot study about the impact of different health literacy interventions, focused on preventing skin cancer, on the adhesion to protection strategies against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, observed in high school students, that will be implemented on Foz do Lizandro beach in the municipality of Mafra, Portugal. As a science project with citizenship and respecting the ethic principles of equity, inclusion and diversity, the study will involve the contribution and participation of institutional and community partners in diverse stages of the research study: design, field implementation, data collection and dissemination of results, as well as financial investment for the acquisition and installation of interventions on the beach, and recruitment of the target population.
