Sun Safe Workplaces: Assessment of Benefits and Costs of a Policy Intervention

A follow-up analysis of sun safe practices by employees and an economic evaluation of the SSW intervention was conducted with the work-sites who received occupational sun protection policy promotion materials in the prior trial. The analysis of sun safety practices of employees was done by preparing the protocols and measures for surveying employees and front-line supervisors by online and paper methods. The economic evaluation was a retrospective collection of cost information from the prior project ledgers and an in depth interview with the key contact manager at each work-site. No additional treatment was provided and the groups were evaluated based on their prior condition assignment.
