Abstract

BACKGROUND

Adolescents frequently use indoor tanning facilities, but little is known about tanning facility operator opinions regarding this use. Objective To assess indoor tanning operator attitudes and stated practices regarding youth access.

METHODS

We electronically surveyed 89 indoor tanning facilities and 130 spas with active e-mail addresses.

RESULTS

The survey response rate was 21% for both indoor tanning facilities (19/89) and spas (27/130). Most tanning operators (92%) felt that a client can be too young to receive indoor tanning, and most felt that written parental permission should be required (80%). Most facilities required adult accompaniment (92%), and most operators had discouraged a customer from receiving indoor tanning based on age (77%). The reported age of the youngest patron receiving indoor tanning ranged from 5 to 21 years.

CONCLUSION

Our sample of indoor tanning facility operators believed that minimum age and parental consent regulations for indoor tanning should be required.

摘要

青少年经常使用室内晒黑设施，但对于晒黑设施经营者对这种使用方式的看法却知之甚少。目的：评估室内晒黑经营者对青少年使用晒黑设施的态度及既定做法。

方法

我们通过电子邮件对89家室内晒黑设施和130家水疗中心进行了电子调查。

结果

室内晒黑设施和水疗中心的调查回复率均为21%（分别为19/89和27/130）。大多数晒黑经营者（92%）认为顾客可能年龄过小而不宜接受室内晒黑，且大多数人认为应该要求有家长的书面许可（80%）。大多数设施要求有成人陪同（92%），且大多数经营者曾因年龄原因劝阻顾客接受室内晒黑（77%）。报告的接受室内晒黑的最年轻顾客年龄在5至21岁之间。
