Dermatologic health literacy in underserved communities: a case report of south Los Angeles middle schools.

CONCLUSIONS: Our hypothesis in this dermatologic health literacy study was that before necessary education, the required fund of knowledge with respect to skin cancer risk is lacking in several ethnic communities, but that intended compliance occurs when educational intervention occurs. The data, both quantitative and qualitative, demonstrate that our hypothesis is substantiated. PMID: 26632944 [PubMed - in process]
