The primary aim of this study is to investigate if dedicated workshops and associated syllabus implementation improve high school students’ knowledge and understanding of skin care and protection. The importance of student voice has been established in international research on sun safety, with some of these studies examining student views on sun safety and various school programs that seek to support students’ related comprehension and behaviour. This project seeks to build on this, through a student-focused intervention in one school.
