Does the type of promotional material influence men’s attendance at skin screening clinics?

by Philippa H. Youl, Monika Janda, John B. Lowe and Joanne F. Aitken

Issue addressed: The incidence of skin cancer is rising in many populations around the world.

This study sought to assess the impact of two methods of encouraging men to attend free open-access skin screening clinics.
