In 1991, 1008 suburban St. Paul, Minn, high school students were surveyed via self-administered questionnaire regarding use of commercial tanning facilities, injuries experienced from tanning, use of protective measures while tanning indoors, and knowledge of the risks of tanning. Overall, 34% of the respondents had used commercial tanning facilities. Fifty percent said they had not been warned by tanning facility operators about the risks of tanning indoors, 28% reported not being told to wear goggles, and 17% reported never wearing goggles. The results indicate that these adolescents use commercial tanning services at high rates, and often in ways that increase their risk for a variety of health problems.
1991年，通过自填问卷的方式，对明尼苏达州圣保罗郊区的1008名高中生进行了调查，内容涉及商业晒黑设施的使用情况、晒黑导致的受伤情况、室内晒黑时采取的防护措施以及对晒黑风险的认知。总体而言，34%的受访者使用过商业晒黑设施。50%的人表示，晒黑设施操作人员未向他们警告过室内晒黑的风险，28%的人报告称未被告知要佩戴护目镜，17%的人报告称从未佩戴过护目镜。结果表明，这些青少年使用商业晒黑服务的比例很高，而且他们的行为方式往往会增加自身出现各种健康问题的风险。
