Little is known about UV exposures and sun safety practices of outdoor day laborers, who are disproportionately Hispanic. This study identified the correlates of sunburn and sun protection behaviors in a sample of male, Hispanic day laborers (n = 175). More than half of the participants (54.9%) experienced one or more sunburns when working during the past summer, and 62.9% reported having one or more symptoms of heat illness. The frequency of engaging in sun protection behaviors was suboptimal, including sunglasses use (M = 2.68, SD = 1.71), staying in the shade (M = 2.30, SD = 0.94), wearing sunscreen (M = 2.10, SD = 1.39), and wearing a wide-brimmed hat (M = 1.75, SD = 1.32), based on a 5-point scale (1 = never; 5 = always). Lower education level, higher levels of skin sensitivity to the sun, any symptom of heat illness, fewer barriers to wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and not wearing a wide-brimmed hat were associated with a greater number of sunburns. Factors associated with each sun protection behavior varied. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19052524","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,22]],"date-time":"2022-02-22T22:34:30Z","timestamp":1645569270000},"page":"2524","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Sunburns and Sun Protection Behaviors among Male Hispanic Outdoor Day Laborers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Zhaomeng","family":"Niu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Riley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medtronic, Boulder, CO 80301, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jerod","family":"Stapleton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Public Health, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Ochsner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Labor Studies and Employment Relations, School of Management and Labor Relations, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Germania","family":"Hernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New Labor, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louis","family":"Kimmel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New Labor, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Giovenco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociomedical Sciences, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7026-0743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shawna","family":"Hudson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"},{"name":"Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7493-447X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Denalee","family":"O\u2019Malley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"},{"name":"Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carolina","family":"Lozada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mari\u00e9n","family":"Pabell\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interfaith Worker Justice, Chicago, IL 60660, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carolyn","family":"Heckman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elliot","family":"Coups","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"s117","article-title":"Skin cancer in hispanics in the United States","volume":"18","author":"Perez","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
