Could you spare 20 minutes to participate in an exciting new research project?

We have an on-line questionnaire concerning behaviour in the sun that we would like you to complete.

We are aiming to involve over 10,000 people! Nothing like this has been attempted before and we need your help to make it a success.

To take part in this exciting research project please choose your preferred language below.

The questions we ask are about what you think of skin cancer and sun exposure, and about how you behave in the sun. We would like you to answer the questions as truthfully as possible.

The questionnaire takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. The questionnaire does not ask for your name or address and we do not monitor IP addresses so the survey is anonymous.

Your participation is also voluntary and you can end your participation at any time. If you are under 16 we advise you to discuss your participation with an adult before entering the questionnaire.

To take part in this questionnaire you will need the Flash Plugin installed on your computer.
If you can't see the language buttons above you can download the plugin from here:
