The aim of the following study was to examine the effects of the Ultraviolet (UV) Index and a personal ultraviolet radiation (UVR) intensity indicator on tanning behaviour compared with general, written information about sun protection. A population-based random sample in Sweden was randomly assigned to four groups receiving different information packages (n=3200). Questionnaires were sent before and after the summer of 2001. Positive attitudes towards sunbathing as well as tanning and sunburn frequencies decreased. Knowledge about UV radiation and the use of sun protection increased for all groups. There were no between-group differences. Sun-related behaviours and beliefs changed, but information about the UV Index or a personal UVR intensity indicator did not decrease sunbathing and sunburn more than general, written information.
以下研究的目的是，将紫外线（UV）指数和个人紫外线辐射（UVR）强度指标对晒黑行为的影响，与关于防晒的一般书面信息进行比较。在瑞典进行的一项基于人群的随机抽样中，随机将样本分为四组，每组接收不同的信息包（n = 3200）。在2001年夏季前后发放问卷。对日光浴的积极态度以及晒黑和晒伤频率均有所下降。所有组对紫外线辐射的了解和防晒措施的使用都有所增加。组间没有差异。与阳光相关的行为和观念发生了变化，但关于紫外线指数或个人紫外线辐射强度指标的信息，在减少日光浴和晒伤方面，并不比一般书面信息更有效。
