摘要

Background/Objectives: The sun safety habits of children are developed throughout the childhood years under the influence of peers, parents, family members and other adult caregivers, as well as through education. This study assessed the sun safety attitudes and actual practices of parents and primary caregivers at a large public playground over a twelve-month period in 2019/2020. The desire to have an educational sun safety message at major playgrounds was also assessed.
