In the Environmental Risk Factors section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about recent sun exposure:
Roughly how much sun exposure have you had during the past 6 months?
Possible responses:

→ A little skin exposure for under 1 hour per week
→ Arms/legs in full sun for at least 1 hour per week
→ Much of body in full sun at least 2 hours per week
→ Whole body in full sun at least 4 hours per week
