Sustainability of prevention programs is a public health goal. The effectiveness of Go Sun Smart (GSS), an occupational skin cancer prevention program, was evaluated five-seven years out from the conclusion of a controlled randomized dissemination trial that compared an enhanced v. basic dissemination strategy at 53 ski areas enrolled in the trial. Employees (n=2940) at ski areas in the enhanced condition reported fewer sunburns but did not differ from employees in the basic condition on other sun protection measures. Significant differences for all sun protection practices were identified at ski areas that displayed 9 or more GSS materials or a combined total of 9 or more GSS and other sun safety messages. Exposure to prevention messages is an important determinant of program effectiveness and potentially of program sustainability.
