“…Two pilot studies carried out in voluntarily participating schools in Reunion Island show encouraging results regarding the feasibility and effectiveness of solar protection programmes aimed at pupils. [15][16][17] However, methodological limitations weaken the validity and extrapolation of the results. To improve both evaluation and generalisability of the results of local public health interventions, cluster randomised controlled trial design can be used.…”

IntroductionReunion Island, a French overseas department, is located in the southern hemisphere, close to the Capricorn tropic. This island has a multicultural and multiethnic population of 860 000 inhabitants, a quarter of whom are at high risk of developing skin cancer due to intense ultraviolet radiation. Melanoma is responsible for the majority of skin cancer deaths. The early prevention of melanoma is based on sun protection in childhood, but French regulations are not adapted to the environmental conditions of this tropical region.The main objective of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of three sun protection programs conducted in Reunionese primary schools through a pupil knowledge questionnaire.Methods and analysisPRESOLRE is an interventional, open-label, cluster-randomised controlled trial, in four parallel arms, that is being conducted throughout 2022–2023 on Reunion Island. The trial design assumes an escalation interventional effect using: first, a control arm without proposed intervention (arm 1); second, an arm whose classes are encouraged to use the validated educational programme ‘Living With the Sun’ (LWS) (arm 2); third, an arm whose classes are encouraged to use both ‘LWS’ combined with ‘Mission Soleil Réunion’s sun protection awareness programme (arm 3); fourth, an arm benefiting from an intervention similar to arm 3, combined with the distribution of hats, sunglasses and sun creams (arm 4). In all, 1780 pupils from 18 classes of 20 pupils, on average, will be included. Randomisation applies to the classes of pupils (so defined as clusters). The primary outcome is based on the proportion of correct answers to the knowledge questions after the awareness programme, compared between the four arms using a linear mixed model with random intercept.Ethics and disseminationThe study obtained ethics approval in 2022 (ID: 2022-A00350-43). Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberNCT05367180.

In the information network, using the characteristics of information diffusion of the Internet, information pushing can be carried out effectively to help publicize safety education, which is of great significance to the construction of safety education system in colleges and universities. In this paper, we optimize the distribution of nodes through graph transformation and independent set ideas and propose an influence maximization algorithm based on HISS to improve the usability of safety information. On this basis, an adaptive safety education system is designed, and an optimization algorithm is proposed for determining the probability of content and knowledge point mastery, which is applied to actual safety education. It was found that the total score of the safety test of the experimental class was improved by 16.22 points before and after, the total score of the experimental class exceeded that of the control class by 10.49 points, and the p-values were all less than 0.001. In total, 84.53% of the students strongly agreed or agreed that the types of learning resources could satisfy their learning needs, and 82.29% of the students were satisfied or very satisfied with the way of pushing the resources of the online course. It indicates that improving the safety education system can increase students’ motivation to learn safety, promote the mastery of safety skills, and cultivate safety awareness.
