“…Additionally, consideration of under-19-years-old tanning regulations should be considered (36). Laws to limit minors’ access to tanning parlors should be considered in the same way as laws that limit youth access to tobacco (37, 38). Every state prohibits the purchase of tobacco products by those younger than 18 years old and some prohibit sales to those under 19 years old (37).…”

Every state prohibits the purchase of tobacco products by those younger than 18 years old and some prohibit sales to those under 19 years old (37). Under 19 years old laws have the benefit of keeping all exposure out of high schools, where 18 year olds could potentially increase indoor tanning behavior in their young peers.…”

Due to recent state regulations and the reduced availability of free-standing tanning salons, indoor tanning prevalence is beginning to decline. This may lead to unintended consequences – increases in outdoor intentional tanning. We advance a series of research directions to track and intervene to address all forms of intentional tanning. First, we advocate for enforcement of indoor tanning regulation and encourage collection of data on tanning salon compliance and alternative indoor tanning strategies. Second, we suggest questions about outdoor and indoor tanning should be included in national surveys. Third, we need to understand the potentially complex patterns of indoor and outdoor tanning that may exist among those who tan. Fourth, research examining changing motivations for intentional tanning is needed. Finally, indoor tanning intervention studies should include outdoor tanning as an outcome to examine the effect of interventions on these related risk behaviors. These advances will ensure the development of novel interventions to address intentional tanning through multiple routes, and to avoid any unintended negative consequence of indoor tanning regulation. The promising downward direction of indoor tanning use in the United States should now lead the public health field to sharpen its focus on outdoor tanning.

“…12,13 Although those data have been useful for designing interventions, 14,15 they may represent only part of the picture. For example, many US states have passed indoor tanning legislation related to access by youths, 16–20 but at the time the current study was conducted, no studies had evaluated whether presence or absence of legislation was associated with indoor tanning use. Likewise, although evidence existed that (1) availability of commercial indoor tanning is high, 21,22 (2) tanning facilities may be more prevalent in neighborhoods with higher numbers of young adults and high schools, 23 and (3) tanning facilities are not complying with youth-access laws, 24–30 relationships between these data and actual indoor tanning use had not been assessed.…”

Objectives We evaluated psychosocial, built-environmental, and policy-related correlates of adolescents’ indoor tanning use. Methods We developed 5 discrete data sets in the 100 most populous US cities, based on interviews of 6125 adolescents (aged 14–17 years) and their parents, analysis of state indoor tanning laws, interviews with enforcement experts, computed density of tanning facilities, and evaluations of these 3399 facilities’ practices regarding access by youths. After univariate analyses, we constructed multilevel models with generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs). Results In the past year, 17.1% of girls and 3.2% of boys had used indoor tanning. The GLMMs indicated that several psychosocial or demographic variables significantly predicted use, including being female, older, and White; having a larger allowance and a parent who used indoor tanning and allowed their adolescent to use it; and holding certain beliefs about indoor tanning’s consequences. Living within 2 miles of a tanning facility also was a significant predictor. Residing in a state with youth-access legislation was not significantly associated with use. Conclusions Current laws appear ineffective in reducing indoor tanning; bans likely are needed. Parents have an important role in prevention efforts.

“…The higher incidence rates of countries such as southern Europe, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand is also due to a geographical issue, that is, the greater proximity to the equator leading to a more frequent exposure to the sun. In contrast, the use of indoor tanning beds was common in northern Europe [22], the USA [23], and Australia [24], representing an additional risk factor in those populations for CMM.…”

Mortality from cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) increased in the past, but trends have been favorable in more recent years in several high-income countries. However, incidence has been increasing in several countries. We provided an up-to-date overview of mortality trends from CMM. We analyzed death certification data from the WHO in selected countries worldwide from 1980 to the most recent available calendar years. We also reported incidence data derived from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents from 1990 to 2012. Separate analyses were performed for young adults aged 20–44 and middle-aged adults aged 45–64 years. Mortality from CMM in all age groups showed a favorable pattern in the majority of the countries considered. Mortality trends declined by 40 to 50% in Australia over the last decades, confirming the importance of prevention measures. Considering young adults aged 20–44, Australia, New Zealand and Northern Europe reported the highest death rates for both sexes (>0.90/100 000 in men and >0.60/100 000 in women) while Japan, the Philippines, and Latin America the lowest ones (<0.50/100 000 and <0.35/100 000 in men and women, respectively). Incidence trends were stable or upward in most countries, with higher rates among women. Our study highlights a global reduction of CMM mortality over the last three decades. The increasing awareness of risk factors, mainly related to UV exposure, along with early diagnosis and progress in treatment for advanced disease played pivotal roles in reducing CMM mortality, particularly in Australia.
