Background: Outdoor workers are at risk of high ultraviolet radiation exposure, and may have difficulty using sun protection. The objectives were to determine the prevalence of sun protection behaviors in a sample of outdoor construction workers, and to assess which factors predict better sun protection practices. Methods: Participants were recruited via construction unions. Workers answered a questionnaire on demographics, skin cancer risk, sun protection behaviors, and job. Sun protection behavior scores (from questions on sunscreen use, sleeved shirt, hat, shade seeking, sunglasses) were calculated by converting Likert-scale answers to scores from 0 to 4, and taking the mean (separately for work and leisure). Determinants of sun protection behavior scores were examined for work and leisure using generalized linear models. Results: Seventy-seven workers had complete questionnaire data (participation 98%). Sun protection behaviors used most often were hats (79% often/always) and sleeved shirts (82% often/always); least prevalent were shade-seeking (8% often/always) and sunscreen (29% often/always). For both work and leisure scores, the strongest predictor was skin type, with fairer-skinned individuals having higher sun protection behavior scores. Workers had higher scores at work than on weekends. Workplaces that required hats and sleeved shirts for safety purposes had higher protection behavior scores. Conclusion: This high-participation rate cohort helps characterize sun protection behaviors among outdoor workers. Workers practiced better sun protection at work than on weekends, suggesting that workplace policies supportive of sun protection could be useful for skin cancer prevention in the construction industry.

선행연구들은 어머니들의 적극적인 건강정보 탐색자로서의 역할, 가족들의 건강을 돌보는 매니저로서의 역할에 주목해왔다. 그러나 미국 내에 거주하는 한인 이민자 어머니들의 건강정보 필요성이나 탐색 행동에 관한 연구는 미비하다. 본 연구는 커뮤니티를 기반으로 한 설문 연구로서, 한인 이민자 어머니들의 건강정보 필요성과 탐색에 대한 행동을 알아보고자 하였다. 만0세부터 10세의 한인 어머니들 사이에서 가장 중요하다고 여겨지는 건강 주제들은 예방접종, 치아건강, 육아, 영양/식단, 그리고 운동 등으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 특정 주제들에 한하여 아이들의 성별과 나이에 따라 어머니들의 건강 정보 필요성이 다르다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로, 미국뿐만 아니라 한국의 정보 전문가들이 건강 정보 서비스를 개발하는데 있어서 염두에 둬야 할 점들을 제시하고 있다.
