The purpose of this study was to determine the actual and perceived sun-protective practices of parents and caregivers of preschool children. Because children are dependent on adults for protection, an investigation of actual sun-protection practices of parents, child caregivers, and retailers in Florida was conducted. One-hundred children were observed at selected childcare centers to identify clothing worn during outdoor play. Eighty-six parents or guardians of the children completed questionnaires regarding their sun-protection knowledge, attitude, and perceived behavior. A survey of 15 retailers was conducted to determine sun-protective products. Although parents were aware of the need to protect their children from the sun’s UV rays, childcare observations revealed that children were wearing apparel that provided little sun protection. Retail stores were found to stock a limited supply of sun protective clothing and products for children.
