Abstract

Introduction:
UV radiation is the most significant environmental risk factor for the development of non-melanoma skin cancers and melanoma. Smartphone applications have been developed to improve the current forms of campaigns for better sun protection behaviour. They are targeting young people in particular because they prefer modern ways of communication, such as mobile phones and electronic media, instead of traditional media like newspapers and TV, which they find out-dated.
