Abstract

The USLA is a nationwide non-profit organization comprised of beach lifeguards who, by nature of their profession, are exposed daily to UV radiation. In this cross-sectional survey study, anonymous data was collected during the summer of 2018 at the National Lifeguard Championships in Virginia Beach, VA.
