Abstract

Tanning bed use has been linked to increases in skin cancer among young women. Although a causal relationship between ultraviolet radiation emitted by tanning beds and melanoma is well established, it is unclear if tanning bed users are aware of the risk and how they would respond to a warning message. Two hundred and ten women aged 16-29 who had used a tanning bed at least once in the last year were asked about their perceptions of risk and their responses to a warning label. Participants were already aware that tanning beds could cause cancer, but after viewing a warning label, most people said they would stop or reduce their tanning bed use. Reactions to a prototype warning label were encouraging and future research should pursue the possibility that current guidelines for tanning bed warning labels may need to be revised.

对晒黑床警告标签的风险认知和反应:一项试点研究。
在年轻女性中,晒黑床的使用与皮肤癌的增加有关。虽然日光浴床发出的紫外线辐射与黑色素瘤之间的因果关系已经确立,但目前尚不清楚日光浴床使用者是否意识到这种风险,以及他们将如何应对警告信息。210名年龄在16岁至29岁之间的女性在去年至少使用过一次日光浴床,研究人员询问了她们对风险的感知以及对警告标签的反应。参与者已经意识到晒黑床可能致癌,但在看到警告标签后,大多数人表示他们将停止或减少晒黑床的使用。对原型警告标签的反应是令人鼓舞的,未来的研究应该追求目前晒黑床警告标签准则可能需要修订的可能性。
