American Academy of Dermatology responds to Wall Street Journal article

Dear Ms. Lukits,

On behalf of the American Academy of Dermatology (Academy) and its 17,000 members, I am writing to express concern about your coverage of a recent study on the mortality rates of women and their sun exposure in Not Enough Sun Exposure Can Be Risky. Your coverage of this study could encourage the public to seek the sun, which could ultimately increase their risk for skin cancer.
