SUMMARY A lapel badge dosimeter sensitive to short wave UVR has been used in a preliminary trial to survey photosensitivity in psychiatric patients on phenothiazine therapy. The badge was found easy to use and the results suggest that chlorpromazine is more photosensitizing than other phenothiazines.
