Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Michael Kimlin (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Keith Dear ,  Prof Robyn Lucas

Brief description There is a need for a greater understanding of the complex relationship between sun exposure and the production of Vitamin D. This study will expand on the recently-completed AusD study to examine how personal, behavioural, and environmental factors impact on intra-individual seasonality in Vitamin D production. The study findings will guide the development of specific, evidence-based public health recommendation that balance the risks and benefits of sun exposure.
