For over 40 years, the Fitzpatrick skin classification scale has been the standard approach for categorizing skin type (Types I - VI). However, the sun sensitivity of individuals with darker skin types (Fitzpatrick types V and VI) may be underestimated. Individuals with darker skin experience greater disparities in skin cancer burden, including higher mortality rates, due to individuals being diagnosed at later stages when the disease is more advanced and potentially deadly. Our prior work migrated a dermatologist-assigned classification system (FST-E) to a culturally-neutral self-report measure of sun sensitivity. This approach may enable better characterization of individuals? sun sensitivity and can guide tailored recommendations of sun protection behaviors that may reduce individuals' risk of skin cancer.
