University health sciences and medical students volunteer to deliver the program and we have recently launched an online eLearning module to support the in-school program.Awareness: Go Safe targets young adults, parents and others with a message of skin cancer awareness and prevention. To date the program includes magazine advertisements and a Go Safe television public service announcement.Advocacy: The CSCF has supported many initiatives across the country to encourage legislation to ban the use of tanning beds by youth under the age of 18.
