=0.08). H/L individuals were approximately 20% less likely than non-H/L participants to perform regular self-skin exams (relative risk: 0.81; 95% confidence interval: 0.62-1.05). Contrary to prior assumptions, acculturation to US culture showed limited influence on most sun-protective behaviors among H/L adults in this study. Instead, socioeconomic disparities and occupational exposure-particularly in high UV-risk industries such as agriculture and construction-may contribute more directly to increased melanoma burden in this population. These findings underscore the need for dermatologic public health strategies that consider socioeconomic and occupational risk factors alongside cultural dynamics. Future multicenter studies are recommended to further explore these relationships and to improve skin cancer prevention efforts in H/L communities.
