Enhancing industry-based dissemination of an occupational sun protection program with theory-based strategies employing personal contact.
Trial report in American journal of health promotion : AJHP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeIndustry-based strategies for dissemination of an evidence-based occupational sun protection program, Go Sun Smart (GSS), were tested.
designTwo dissemination strategies were compared in a randomized trial in 2004-2007.
settingThe North American ski industry. SUBJECTS: Ski areas in the United States and Canada (n = 69) and their senior managers (n = 469).
interventionEmployers received GSS through a basic dissemination strategy (BDS) from the industry's professional association that included conference presentations and free starter kits. Half of the areas also received the enhanced dissemination strategy (EDS), in which project staff met face-to-face with managers and made ongoing contacts to support program use. MEASURES: Observation of program materials in use and managers' reports on communication about sun protection. ANALYSIS: The effects of two alternative dissemination strategies were compared on program use using PROC MIXED in SAS, adjusted for covariates using one-tailed p values.
resultsSki areas receiving the EDS used more GSS materials (x¯ = 7.36) than those receiving the BDS (x¯ = 5.17; F = 7.82, p < .01). Managers from more areas receiving the EDS reported communicating about sun protection in employee newsletters/flyers (x¯ = .97, p = .04), in guest e-mail messages (x¯ = .75, p = .02), and on ski area Web sites (x¯ = .38, p = .02) than those receiving the BDS (x¯ = .84, .50, .15, respectively).
conclusionIndustry professional associations play an important role in disseminating prevention programs; however, active personal communication may be essential to ensure increased implementation fidelity.
