There is no research investigating indoor tanning advertising on social media. We assessed the use of social media to promote indoor tanning. We subscribed to social media platforms in six US cities and contentanalyzed promotional messages received. We captured 662 messages on Twitter and Facebook, through salon emails, and in daily deal coupons. Salon postings were most frequent on Twitter and Facebook, with an average of 2-3 postings per week. National chains posted more frequently than local businesses. Forty percent of messages were devoid of tanning content and included photos, jokes, or popular references. Thirty percent mentioned price reductions, and 28 % referenced an upcoming holiday. Sunless tanning (17 %) was promoted more often than ultraviolet tanning (9 %). Tanning salons actively use social media as a strategy for maintaining relationships with customers and offer pricing deals that promote loyalty and high-frequency tanning. KeywordsIndoor tanning, Skin cancer, Social media, Advertising BACKGROUND Skin cancer incidence is rising and is increasingly affecting adolescents and young adults, creating a profound social and economic burden in the USA [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Ultraviolet (UV) exposure is the primary and preventable risk factor for skin cancer [12][13][14]. Indoor UV tanning appears responsible for part of the rise over the past several decades among young women [15,16]. More frequent use, use of higher intensity devices, and use over longer periods of time have all been linked to elevated melanoma risk [15,16].The annual prevalence of indoor tanning in the USA is highest among non-Hispanic white women between the ages of 18-21 (32 %) and 22-25 (30 %) [17]. Two thirds (68 %) of 18-21-year-old non-Hispanic white women who use indoor tanning report frequent use (10 or more indoor tanning sessions per year), with an average of nearly 28 indoor tanning sessions per year [17]. These and other data suggest that reducing indoor tanning use among young adults is a public health imperative [18][19][20]. Indeed, the Surgeon General released a BCall to Action^in 2014 highlighting skin

“…16,17 Melanoma causes more deaths than any other skin cancer, and its incidence is increasing, particularly among non-Hispanic whites and women; increases have also been noted among all tumor thicknesses. 18 Additionally, melanoma is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among adolescents and young adults in the U.S. 19,20 Indoor tanning before age 35 years increases the risk of melanoma by 60%-80% or more, possibly because of longer duration of use. 3,13,16,21 In addition to the morbidity and mortality it causes, skin cancer poses a substantial economic burden in the U.S. 22,23 The treatment of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer costs an estimated $1.7 billion each year.…”

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from indoor tanning devices (tanning beds, booths, and sun lamps) or from the sun contributes to the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, which is the type of skin cancer responsible for most deaths. Indoor tanning is common among certain groups, especially among older adolescents and young adults, adolescent girls and young women, and non-Hispanic whites. Increased understanding of the health risks associated with indoor tanning has led to many efforts to reduce use. Most environmental and systems efforts in the U.S. (e.g., age limits or requiring parental consent/accompaniment) have occurred at the state level. At the national level, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission regulate indoor tanning devices and advertising, respectively.The current paper provides a brief review of (1) the evidence on indoor tanning as a risk factor for skin cancer; (2) factors that may influence use of indoor tanning devices at the population level; and (3) various environmental and systems options available for consideration when developing strategies to reduce indoor tanning. This information provides the context and background for the companion paper in this issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, which summarizes highlights from an informal expert meeting convened by the CDC in August 2012 to identify opportunities to prevent skin cancer by reducing use of indoor tanning devices.

Context: Medical journals have allowed researchers to share their latest discoveries, especially in the most common diseases affecting patients worldwide.Objective: To analyze trends in the frequency of original research into common dermatologic diseases from 1970 to 2010.Design: A retrospective review of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology and the Archives of Dermatology was performed using the MEDLINE database. All original research articles published between 1970 and 2010, by quinquennium, dealing with acne vulgaris, rosacea, skin cancer, dermatitis, psoriasis, or skin infections were included.Main Outcome Measure: Total number of publications dealing with each dermatologic topic considered.Results: The frequency of research into acne vulgaris and rosacea decreased from 24% in 1970 to 5.1% in 2010. Psoriasis research increased in frequency from 17.6% to 26.5% from 2000 to 2010, and skin cancer research increased from 4% in 1970 to 48% in 2010.Conclusions: Topics that experienced early advancements in research, such as acne vulgaris and rosacea, demonstrated a decreasing trend in the frequency of publication. Published psoriasis research has increased in frequency since 2000, most likely because of the discovery of biologics. Finally, skin cancer research has continued to increase in frequency of publication, paralleling the increasing incidence of skin cancer.
