Summary
This study tested a sun safety program called Go Sun Smart Georgia (GSSG) for outdoor workers. 312 workers and managers from Georgia worksites took part. The program provided training and materials to encourage sun protection like sunscreen, hats, and shade. Researchers compared sun safety behaviors between worksites that got the program right away and those that got it later.
