Episode 2 of a 2-Part Series: “Sun Protection: A Review of Current Interventions and Barriers to Changing Patient Attitude and Behavior”

Why is is that we tend to do things we know are bad for us? Candy, alcohol, Tinder…the list goes on. What about not following practices that have a library of evidence supporting their use, like sunscreen and photo-protection? To better understand this conundrum JDD Podcast host Dr. Adam Friedman recruited mental health guru Dr. Sherry Pagoto, Professor in the Department of Allied Health Sciences at the University of Connecticut and Director of the UConn Center for mHealth and Social Media, to dive deep into human behavior and how this relates to medical compliance. Find a couch to lie down on as you digest the litany of psychosocial pearls Dr. Pagoto shares, rounded out by some evidenced based guidance on using social media to engage a broader audience. #dontmissthispodcast
