This study aimed to measure sun protection practices utilized in Australian early-childhood services over the past decade and evaluate the impact of Cancer Council Australia\u2019s SunSmart Early-Childhood Program. Results are presented from cross-sectional and repeated-measures survey data, completed by directors or other staff at randomly sampled early-childhood services in 2008, 2013 and 2018 (N\ufffd=\ufffd3243). Most sun protection practices were used by a significantly greater proportion of services in 2018 relative to earlier years, such as requiring the use of sunscreen (98.4%), and sun-protective hats (99.7%) and clothing (88.8%). However, only a small and declining proportion of services (16.3%\u201322.4%) required the use of specific items of sun-protective clothing. SunSmart program members reported enacting significantly more sun protection practices compared to non-members, while new members showed an increase in the use of those practices relative to services whose status did not change (d\ufffd=\ufffd0.48). The results demonstrate improvements in sun protection in Australian early-childhood settings, and highlight the benefits and limitations of the SunSmart program.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/her\/cyaa005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,11]],"date-time":"2020-02-11T04:23:41Z","timestamp":1581395021000},"page":"99-109","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A
