The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends sun safety education in schools, but the Task Force on Community Preventive Services has not found sufficient research evidence to recommend such education in secondary schools. A commercial sun safety curriculum (Sunny Days, Healthy Ways©) with demonstrated effectiveness in elementary schools was adapted and tested with middle school students in three Southwestern US states. The adaptations were based on social cognitive theory and included components of goal setting, strategies to overcome perceived barriers, and environmental analysis to improve the likelihood of effectiveness with students in grades 6 through 8.
During adolescence, one becomes less dependent on parents, more reliant on peers, and more focused on education and career development. Youth with cerebral palsy (CP) may not be as able to reduce dependence on their parents, rely as much on their peers, and have as many career options.

Delegation means transferring the execution of a task while retaining accountability for the outcome. This article outlines a framework and important habits for the registered nurse in any setting. It cites four "rights" of delegation: the right task, the right person to do the job, the right communication, and the right feedback for the worker. The author recomends that unlicensed staff be assigned directly to an RN, not to a group of clients.
