Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
To successfully implement and scale up GSSW with outdoor workers in Southwest Georgia-predominantly African American and Hispanic-this intervention must be systematically adapted to ensure program fit to the population and setting while maintaining core program elements. A well-adapted and tailored occupational sun safety program with high dissemination potential will greatly impact this overlooked employee population, reduce health care costs, improve quality of life, and save lives. The adaptation process took place in 2022-2024, and the adapted Go Sun Smart Georgia (GSSG) program will be evaluated in 2024.
Go Sun Smart Georgia (GSSG) is an educational, train-the-trainer, and technical assistance program for Georgia worksites that employ outdoor workers. It will be implemented with worksites assigned to the intervention group in May-Aug 2024 and with worksites assigned to the comparison (delayed intervention) group in Aug - Dec. 2024. The study team will provide worksites with training for internal worksite coaches (the coach(es) will be employee(s) chosen by the worksite to serve as a champion for the program, not part of the study staff and paid by the worksite), training for other internal educators, technical assistance for conducting the program, and employee educational sessions, as needed.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Early Intervention
6 worksites will be enrolled. GSSG implementation in May-August 2024
Go Sun Smart Georgia (GSSG)
Go Sun Smart Georgia (GSSG) is an educational, train-the-trainer, and technical assistance program for Georgia worksites that employ outdoor workers.
GSSG is delivered through personal contacts with senior worksite managers, employee training, and distribution of educational materials. In meetings with managers, trained coaches work to increase perceived need for workplace sun safety, cite advice from national authorities (e.g., CDC and NIOSH), plan for policy implementation, alter policies/education and/or workplace to improve fit, clarify changes to other managers/ employees, and bundle sun safety with worksite safety.
The intervention period will last 12-16 weeks in each of the groups.
Delayed Intervention
6 worksites will be enrolled. GSSG implementation in August- December 2024.
