Study Summary

This trial aims to reduce skin cancer risk for outdoor workers in the US by using virtual learning to teach employers sun protection practices.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for American managers responsible for worksite safety and employees who work outdoors at least 5 hours a week. Participants must be able to read English or Spanish, consent to participate, and complete a pre-test survey. It excludes those who only read languages other than English or Spanish and employees working exclusively indoors.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests the effectiveness of 'SSW Works,' a virtual learning environment designed to improve sun protection among outdoor workers, against minimal information control. Employers across the nation will be randomly chosen to use either SSW Works or receive basic information.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional physical side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience time commitment for involvement in the learning activities.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: SSW WorksExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

SSW Works, is a virtual learning environment (VLE) for automated, comprehensive, on-demand, tailored distribution of the SSW program to private and public employers with outdoor workers. It will be delivered in both English and Spanish to managers and employees who work outdoors to reduce risk for skin cancer.

Group II: Minimal Information ControlActive Control1 Intervention

Workplaces randomized to the control condition will receive a set of printed materials on occupational sun safety (1 mailing per year) as an attention control. These will include posters on personal protection and skin cancer incidence, risk assessment brochure, American Academy of Dermatology SPOT bookmark showing the ABCDEs of melanoma and skin self-examination, and a sun safety tip card from OSHA.
