half of all cancers.About one million cases of basal cell or squamous cell
cancers, the two most common types of skin cancer, are diagnosed each year.
Melanoma, the third most common type of skin cancer, accounts for less than
5% of skin cancer cases but causes a majority of skin cancer deaths.

The toolkit consists of four key steps that will help CCC programs move through a logical process for engaging and implementing sun safety efforts for young people:

Step I: Identify and Recruit Sun Safety Partners
Step II: Assess and Understand Sun Safety Needs and Resources in Your State/Tribe/Territory/Jurisdiction
Step III: Plan and Implement Sun Safety Activities
Step IV: Evaluate Sun Safety Efforts

The toolkit also includes an extensive sun safety resource list, which highlights potential sun safety partners at the state/tribe/territory/jurisdiction and national levels, and other sun safety programs and materials that are currently available.
