Active adults accumulate more ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure and are at greater risk of skin cancer than inactive adults. Golf is a popular sport that increases UV exposure because it is played outdoors in daylight. This study evaluated adult golfers' interest in multilevel sun-protection strategies and characterized differences in interest as a function of golfer characteristics. Adult golfers ( = 347) completed a web survey to rate their interest in 20 sun-protection strategies. We estimated descriptive statistics and evaluated differences in interest as a function of demographics, perceived risk, sun-protective behavior, and golf exposure. Golfers reported the greatest interest in environmental supports for sun protection, but these ratings were driven by golfers who already perceived golf as a risk behavior and used sunscreen diligently. Vulnerable golfers-those with a golf-related sunburn in the past year or who spend more time golfing-expressed interest in a broader range of intervention components, including education, family support, and text messages. Multilevel skin cancer prevention interventions are needed for golfers. Intervention components of interest involved support and reminders, which suggests they are open to sun-safety behaviors but need help executing them.
积极活动的成年人比不常活动的成年人会累积更多的紫外线（UV）辐射暴露，并且面临更大的皮肤癌风险。高尔夫是一项受欢迎的户外运动，会增加紫外线暴露，因为它在白天进行。本研究评估了成年高尔夫球手对多层次防晒策略的兴趣，并根据高尔夫球手的特点来描述其兴趣差异。347 名成年高尔夫球手完成了一项网络调查，对 20 种防晒策略的兴趣进行了评分。我们估计了描述性统计数据，并根据人口统计学、感知风险、防晒行为和高尔夫球暴露情况评估了兴趣差异。高尔夫球手报告对环境支持防晒的兴趣最大，但这些评价是由那些已经认为高尔夫是一种风险行为并认真使用防晒霜的高尔夫球手驱动的。易受伤害的高尔夫球手——那些在过去一年中有与高尔夫相关的晒伤或花更多时间打高尔夫的人——对更广泛的干预组件表示出兴趣，包括教育、家庭支持和短信。需要针对高尔夫球手开展多层次皮肤癌预防干预措施。有兴趣的干预组件包括支持和提醒，这表明他们对防晒行为持开放态度，但需要帮助他们执行这些行为。
