The purpose of this study is to understand how much people know about skin cancer and how they protect their skin. We are looking at people's knowledge about different types of skin cancer and their behaviors to prevent it. We want to see if there are common habits or barriers that affect how people take care of their skin. By learning more about these things, we hope to improve ways to promote skin health and prevent skin cancer.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of 7% hypertonic saline (HS) delivered by nebulizer on mucociliary clearance (MCC) - a test that shows the rate at which a person's lungs can clear inhaled particles. We will compare the rate of MCC at baseline (before treatment with HS), with MCC after a single dose of HS (acute treatment), and with MCC after two weeks of treatment with HS twice a day after 12 hours from the last dose of HS (sustained effect). We will also assess response to HS with other outcomes (lung function testing, changes in phlegm/mucus, and survey responses). If we find there is a sustained effect of HS, this would support the use of HS as part of airway clearance for people with bronchiectasis.
