          Would make more sense to see a study done that followed kids into adulthood… since that's when majority of melanoma cases pop up. Stopping at age 15 gives no indication of whether kids who use sunscreen and kids who didn't would end up getting melanoma later on. Not the most professional article, so I'd take it with a grain of salt.
