SUN SAFETY--SKIN CANCER EDUCATION FOR FAMILY CHILD CARE

描述：通过在儿童时期采取防护措施来减少阳光暴晒，可以将终生非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的发病率降低78%。这个第一阶段的SBIR项目将为家庭儿童保育提供者(FCCP)制作一个原型教育光盘--《太阳安全》。该光盘将通过以下方式帮助FCCP：1)重点介绍如何组织托儿所提供防晒；2)为3-5岁的儿童提供集体和个人的太阳安全教育游戏和活动；3)为家长提供可打印的信息。第一阶段的产品包括学习目标和适用于FCCP的皮肤癌预防信息和信息的内容大纲，以及Sun安全光盘的原型。该原型将在马里兰州和佛罗里达州的FCCP和幼儿中进行测试。一个由FCCP、国家协会首脑和儿童基金会工作人员组成的咨询小组将就直接影响提供家庭托儿服务的项目的各个方面提供意见和审查。

DESCRIPTION: A reduction in sun exposure through the adoption of protective measures in childhood can reduce the lifetime incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer by 78%. This Phase I SBIR project will result in a prototype educational CD-ROM, Sun Safety, for family childcare providers (FCCP). The CD-ROM will assist the FCCP by 1) focusing on how they can organize their child-care home to provide sun protection; 2) providing group and individual Sun Safety educational games and activities for children age 3-5 years; and 3) providing printable information for parents. The products of Phase I include learning objectives and a content outline of the skin cancer prevention information and messages appropriate for FCCP and a prototype of the Sun Safety CD-ROM. The prototype will be tested with FCCP and young children in Maryland and Florida. An advisory group of FCCP, heads of state associations, and staff from The Children's Foundation will provide input and review on aspects of the project directly affecting the provision of family childcare.
