To describe the demographics of solarium users and the correlates of solarium use in Queensland.
A cross-sectional survey of 9419 Queensland residents was conducted via an anonymous computer-assisted telephone interview.
Overall, 8.8% of the respondents had ever used a solarium and less than 1% had used a solarium in the previous year. Results indicated that users were more likely to be female and younger than non-users, and less than half of the users signed a consent form, suggesting that they had not been made aware of the associated risks by operators.
The Queensland Cancer Risk Study was one of the first population-based studies to address solarium use in this State and highlights that the use of solariums in Queensland is low in comparison to other countries.
There is no regulation of compliance with guidelines. It may become necessary to make compliance with the guidelines mandatory to effectively communicate the associated risks.
描述昆士兰州日光浴室使用者的人口统计学特征以及使用日光浴室的相关因素。
通过匿名计算机辅助电话访谈对9419名昆士兰州居民进行了横断面调查。
总体而言，8.8%的受访者曾使用过日光浴室，不到1%的人在前一年使用过日光浴室。结果表明，使用者比非使用者更可能为女性且更年轻，不到一半的使用者签署了同意书，这表明经营者未让他们了解相关风险。
昆士兰癌症风险研究是该州首批基于人群的关于日光浴室使用情况的研究之一，突出表明昆士兰州日光浴室的使用率与其他国家相比很低。
对于指南的遵守情况没有监管。可能有必要强制遵守指南，以便有效传达相关风险。
