Abstract: The SunWise Program was initiated in 1998 through a statutory mandate under Title IV of the Clean Air Act. The Program is a collaborative effort of schools, communities, health professionals, educators, environmental organizations, meteorologists, local governments, federal agencies, and others. Participating schools and partners sponsor classroom and school activities to raise childrens awareness of stratospheric ozone depletion, UV radiation, and the largely preventable health risks from overexposure to the sun, as well as simple sun safety practices. All educators interested in participating in this partnership program are asked to register using the online form (www.epa.gov/sunwise/becoming.html and www.epa.gov/sunwise/becoming partner.html) or a hard copy version distributed by EPA. Participating schools and organizations receive a variety of materials, including a classroom Tool Kit of games, songs, puzzles, story books, videos, access to the internet UV intensity mapping/graphing tools, and more. The Tool Kit also includes sample sun safety policies and guidelines to help expand the sun safety message beyond the classroom. Teachers who sign up for SunWise are asked to complete a survey at the end of program implementation. Results of these surveys are used to fine tune existing SunWise materials and develop new ones that better meet our participants needs. Randomly selected teachers are also asked to administer a brief survey to their students before and after program implementation. The results from the student surveys are used to evaluate program effectiveness and also help guide materials development. The surveys will be mailed out to Program participants once they have registered. Survey responses are voluntary and anonymous. Additionally, SunWise is developing an online interactive SunWise Sun Safety Certification Program.
