Abstract

The article discusses a study testing the utility of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to predict mothers' decisions to ensure their child engages in sun-protective behaviours. The study concluded that it provides support for the efficacy of the TPB in understanding the decision making processes involved for mothers to ensure their child engages in sun-protective behaviours. The article states that the study findings can inform strategies to prevent skin cancer.
