DEAR EDITOR, Melanoma survivors are at risk to develop another melanoma, and the same patterns of sun exposure that caused the initial melanoma contribute to the risk for a second melanoma. 1 Despite awareness of the risk of developing another melanoma and the benefit of sun protection in modifying that risk, 2 melanoma survivors often engage in unprotected episodes of sun exposure resulting in sunburn. 3 While melanoma survivors initially decrease sun exposure following diagnosis, these changes are not maintained. 4 This proof-of-concept study paired a wearable ultraviolet (UV) sensor with a selfreport survey to explore sun protection behaviours of melanoma survivorsThe recruited melanoma survivors (stages: melanoma in situ to stage IIB) consisted of 24 women and 15 men (n= 39). They were diagnosed 4–7 years prior to enrolling in this study, had a mean age of 59 years (range 21–80) and had Fitzpatrick skin type I (n= 14), II (n= 11), III (n= 11) or IV (n= 3). An erythemally weighted UV sensor was used (Shade â model V1Á00; YouV Labs Inc., New York, NY, USA), which reported UV exposure in J m À2 to one decimal
