The aim of this paper was to determine if there is any link between primary prevention and early detection for skin cancer. Results from a study of a large random sample of Gold Coast residents (N = 995) identified an association (P < 0.01) between individual primary prevention and early detection activities. People were also more likely to use both prevention methods if they had personal experience with skin cancer (P = 0.01) or if they were male (P = 0.05). Future primary prevention and early detection skin cancer programs might be most effective if they are combined.
本文的目的是确定皮肤癌的一级预防和早期检测之间是否存在任何联系。对黄金海岸居民的大量随机样本（N = 995）进行研究的结果表明，个体一级预防和早期检测活动之间存在关联（P < 0.01）。如果人们有皮肤癌的个人经历（P = 0.01）或为男性（P = 0.05），他们也更有可能同时使用两种预防方法。如果将未来的皮肤癌一级预防和早期检测项目结合起来，可能会最有效。
