“…Taking into accoutit that, by mandate of the European Commission, sunbeds should not produce higher irradiances than 0.3 W/m-and that a minimal erythemal dose (MED) For skin type II corresponds to 210 J/m^ (28). the mean indoor exposure time given above ( 13.6 min) at an irradiance of 0.3 W/m-will yield an irradiation dose of approximately 245 J/m\ This value is already approximately 17% higher than 1 MED (210 J/m').…”

In Europe, little is known about the prevalence of indoor tanning. The aims of this study were therefore to estimate the prevalence of sunbed use and to identify risk groups and motives in a population-based survey. The cross-sectional "SUN-Study 2008" ("Sunbed-Use: Needs for Action-Study 2008") was conducted in 2008. A total of 500 adults, aged 18-45 years, were randomly selected and asked about their indoor tanning practices, their motivation and risk perception, and the compliance of staff with international sunbed use recommendations. Forty-seven percent of subjects reported having visited an indoor tanning facility at least once in their lives. Prevalence of use was not reduced in risk groups for skin cancer. Risk awareness of users equalled that of non-users. The poor quality of services and advice provided by many solariums was alarming. It can be concluded that appropriate measures to change tanning habits need to be identified. Legal regulations could be one option.

“…The influence of artificial sources of UV on risk of melanoma has been examined by numerous studies (for example [24][25][26][27][28]) although findings to date have been heterogeneous, with much of the inconsistency attributed to small sample sizes with low statistical power to detect a plausible association [7,[25][26][27][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Moreover, most studies to date have not been able to distinguish exposures by device type and many did not control for known melanoma risk factors such as pigmentary characteristics and solar exposures [29,37,40].…”

“…tanning salon or sunlamp use) has become a billion dollar per year business (Amonette, 1994;Baker, Weary, & O'Neill, 1990;Fleischer & Fleischer, 1992). A number of recent studies have demonstrated associations between cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) and sunlamp use in humans (Autier et al, 1991;Walters et al, 1990;Westerdahl et al, 1994). For example, Westerdahl, et al (1994) found that individuals under the age of 30 years who used artificial tanning devices 10 or more times per year had an almost eight times increased risk of developing CMM.…”

Cognitions relevant to tanning salon decision making were studied using Jaccard's Theory of Alternative Behavior (J. Jaccard. Journal of Experimental Social Psychology1981; 17: 286-307). Questionnaires were administered assessing tanning salon use, attitudes toward tanning salon use, attitudes toward reasonable behavioral alternatives, and cognitive variables underlying these variables. Tanning salon use reports were very high in this sample. The results support the notion that young people make decisions regarding using tanning salons based on the behavioral alternatives available to them. Specifically, subjects with stronger preferences for using clothing to enhance appearance were less likely to use tanning salons. Furthermore, the multivariate approach used clearly delineates the specific cognitive beliefs and orientations that might be targeted to change these attitudes. The relevance of these findings to skin cancer prevention is discussed.
