Change in total body skin exam rates (per 5 years) in 2005 versus 2015 among National Health Interview Survey participants (aged ≥18 years). Associations between reporting a total body skin exam in the last 5 years in 2005 versus 2015 were examined among all participants and among participants in each subpopulation. Adjusted odds ratios and corresponding 95% CIs are presented. Association estimates were obtained from subpopulation logistic regression models and adjusted for age, sex, education, race/ethnicity, region, household income, sunscreen usage, and skin response to sun exposure (depending on model). AA, Associate degree; AOR, adjusted odds ratio; GED, General Educational Development; TBSE, total body skin exam.
