Now I have some questions about how your skin would react [at the age
you are now]{.underline} if you were exposed to strong sunlight for a
half-hour without protective sunscreen. By strong sunlight, I mean
noonday sunlight on the brightest, clearest day in summer.

S8. Let\'s start with how your skin would react if you had no tan the
first time in summer that you were exposed to strong sunlight. What
would happen, would you . . .

Now I\'m going to ask about the time you spent in the sun, other than
during your work, at different ages. Be sure to include time in the sun
on vacations as well as where you lived. Let\'s start with when you were
a preschooler, that is, when you were under five years old. (ASK S11-S17
