Lombard, D., Neubauer, T. E., Canfield, D., & Winett, R. A. (1991). Behavioral community intervention to reduce the risk of skin cancer. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 24(4), 677-686.
Used a SafeSun intervention package to decrease skin cancer risk behaviors at 2 community swimming pools with 618 members. The intervention had 5 components: information posters and flyers, risk protection feedback and goals, peer leader modeling, and a commitment raffle. The package produced a modest increase in child and adult preventive behaviors. Staying in the shade was the protective behavior most influenced by this intervention.
