BACKGROUND: Excessive UV radiation from the sun may lead to skin cancer, the most common type of cancer in Germany. Therefore, among other things, the World Health Organization recommends seeking shade during the midday hours from a UV index of 3 (3 to 5 = "moderate"). However, this important preventive measure can only be taken if sufficient shaded areas are available. The aim of the study is to record shaded areas in kindergartens and schools nationwide.
METHODS: An epidemiological cross-sectional study with two samples was carried out. Management of kindergartens and schools were surveyed using online questionnaires about the provision of shading measures at their educational institution from May to August 2020 and from April to July 2021, respectively. The primary outcome was to record the presence of various structural shading measures in the outdoor area of their educational institutions. The secondary outcome was to estimate the size of the shaded exterior area.
RESULTS: From the nationwide population, 1042 kindergartens (1.9%) and 713 schools (2.3%) participated. Compared to schools, kindergartens had sun protection measures in the outdoor area significantly more often (99% vs. 82%; p < 0.001) and were able to shade a significantly larger outdoor area (43% vs. 26%; p < 0.001). Assuming a minimum required shaded outdoor area of 1 m2 per person, 45% of the schools and 10% of the kindergartens did not have sufficient shaded outdoor areas (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Almost every fifth school in Germany had no shaded places in the outdoor area. Against the background of climatic changes, an urgent high need for improvements seems obvious.
