Skin cancer is increasing, and prevention programs are essential. This study evaluated the impact of a skin cancer prevention program on sun-protection habits and swimming pool environments. The intervention included staff training; sun-safety lessons; interactive activities; providing sunscreen, shade, and signage; and promoting sun-safe environments. A randomized trial at 28 swimming pools in Hawaii and Massachusetts tested the efficacy of this program (Pool Cool) compared with an attention-matched injury-prevention control program. Results showed significant positive changes in children's use of sunscreen and shade, overall sun-protection habits, and number of sunburns and improvements in parents' hat use, sun-protection habits, and reported sun-protection policies and environments. Observations corroborated the positive findings. Pool Cool had significant positive effects at swimming pools in diverse audiences.
皮肤癌发病率正在上升，预防项目至关重要。本研究评估了一项皮肤癌预防项目对防晒习惯和游泳池环境的影响。干预措施包括员工培训、阳光安全课程、互动活动、提供防晒霜、遮阳设施和标识，以及推广阳光安全环境。在夏威夷和马萨诸塞州的28个游泳池进行的一项随机试验，测试了该项目（Pool Cool）与一个注意力匹配的伤害预防对照项目相比的效果。结果显示，儿童使用防晒霜和遮阳设施的情况、总体防晒习惯、晒伤次数有显著积极变化，父母戴帽子的情况、防晒习惯以及报告的防晒政策和环境也有所改善。观察结果证实了这些积极发现。Pool Cool在不同受众群体的游泳池中都产生了显著的积极影响。
