Randomized Controlled TrialParent reports of sun safety communication and behaviour for students in a randomised trial on a school policy implementation intervention.
Schools are an important setting for skin cancer prevention. An intervention for implementation of school sun safety policy, Sun Safety Schools (SSS), was evaluated. ⋯ A school district sun protection policy and support for implementation increased dissemination of sun safety information to parents and student sun safety.
