New Mexico RAYS Project

New Mexico is leading the charge on sun safety.  In this blog, we highlight their 2006 report on the success of the RAYS - Raising awareness in youth about sun safety, program launched by the New Mexico Department of Health Comprehensive Cancer Program.   This report is an update on their program and shows changes in self-reported sun safety knowledge increases by children in schools.  View their program to see the dramatic increase on pre-post tests which tell us about the changes in students’ knowledge, attitudes and behavior towards sun safety.
