NCT ID NCT06418672
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- Go Sun Smart Georgia (GSSG) educational program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help reduce sunburn and skin cancer risk among outdoor workers by improving sun safety habits at work.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed behavioral study, not a drug trial. Results may not apply to all worksites or regions, and behavior change can be hard to sustain long-term.
