Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Comprehensive approaches that combine sun protection policy and education for outdoor workers can reduce their risk for skin cancer by reducing their exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation on the job. To effectively disseminate the investigators' evidence-based sun protection policy and education intervention, Sun Safe Workplaces, a balance of effectiveness and cost of scale-up methods is required. The investigators propose to translate the intervention using a technology-based delivery method and compare the cost effectiveness of the original intervention and the intervention delivered by technology in a study that models national distribution strategies to public safety and public works sectors.
