Abstract

This work focused on appeals to employers to promote sun protection among outdoor workers. Using a four-level between-subjects intervention, managers who received messages emphasizing the financial consequences of employee sun exposure had greater intentions to encourage sun protection behaviors than those who received a message focused solely on employee well-being.
