Abstract
Our work highlights important disparities in sun-protective behaviours and skin cancer awareness/knowledge gaps between Inuit Indigenous vs. general Canadian populations. Our work identifies multiple concerns and lack of sun protection that could lead to preventable death and suffering from skin cancers in this emerging at-risk population.
