Who is the study for?
This trial is for outdoor workers in Southwest Georgia. Participants should be employed at worksites willing to implement the Go Sun Smart Georgia program and participate in surveys and interviews. There are no specific inclusion or exclusion criteria provided, suggesting that all employees at participating worksites may be eligible.
What is being tested?
The Go Sun Smart Georgia (GSSG) program's effectiveness is being tested by comparing sun protection behaviors of employees from worksites with the GSSG intervention against those on a wait-list control group. The study involves training, technical assistance, and data collection through surveys and interviews.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on evaluating a sun protection educational program rather than a medical intervention, there are no direct side effects associated with medications or treatments. However, participants may experience indirect effects related to changes in behavior based on the education received.
