NEW YORK, Sept 13: Pediatricians’ offices that offer more extensive counseling and information on safer sun practices are no more likely to have parents who follow that advice than offices that offer less intensive counseling, according to a new study. Another problem: Kids who pursued physical exercise were twice as likely to suffer sunburns. That wasn’t surprising, but it concerned the study’s authors because the brochures about exercise were separate from those about sun protection and avoiding rays between 10 a.M. and 4 p.M. – meaning some kids might get one message, but not the other.
