Go Sun Smart Georgia Evaluation

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the dissemination of the Go Sun Smart Georgia (GSSG) program with Georgia worksites and learn whether the intervention changes the employees' sun protection behavior in outdoor workers in Southwest Georgia. The primary aim is to assess program effectiveness by comparing employee sun protection practices between the employers assigned to the GSSG intervention and the employers assigned to the wait-list control group (delayed intervention). The hypothesis that will be tested is that compared to the delayed intervention group, employees at intervention worksites will practice more sun protection during the post-test. Worksites will be asked to complete internal coach training and participate in technical assistance around sun safety. Study participants will fill out surveys and participate in interviews
