“…Although indoor tanning has declined somewhat in the United States in recent years, it remains a significant exposure. In 2015, the estimated prevalence of indoor tanning at least once during the last 12 months was about 4% among US adults, with the highest prevalence (20%) among non‐Hispanic white females aged 18 to 21 years . Among high school students in the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, the past‐year prevalence of indoor tanning was 7% overall and 15% among non‐Hispanic white females …”

In the United States, it is estimated that more than 1.7 million people will be diagnosed with cancer, and more than 600,000 will die of the disease in 2018. The financial costs associated with cancer risk factors and cancer care are enormous. To substantially reduce both the number of individuals diagnosed with and dying from cancer and the costs associated with cancer each year in the United States, government and industry and the public health, medical, and scientific communities must work together to develop, invest in, and implement comprehensive cancer control goals and strategies at the national level and expand ongoing initiatives at the state and local levels. This report is the second in a series of articles in this journal that, together, describe trends in cancer rates and the scientific evidence on cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship to inform the identification of priorities for a comprehensive cancer control plan. Herein, we focus on existing evidence about established, modifiable risk factors for cancer, including prevalence estimates and the cancer burden due to each risk factor in the United States, and established primary prevention recommendations and interventions to reduce exposure to each risk factor.

“…Non-Hispanic white and Hispanic adolescents had the second highest rates of tanning addiction, at 7.91% and 7.57%, respectively (Miller et al, 2018). Previous studies have determined that non-Hispanic white women represent the largest demographic among indoor tanners (Guy et al, 2017); however, this study demonstrates that the risk for tanning addiction spans across many ethnicities and races.…”

“…From 2010 to 2015, rates of indoor tanning among US adults decreased from approximately 11.7 million to 7.8 million, possibly due to a combination of improved safety measures, increased knowledge of risks, and national and state policies restricting tanning bed accessibility (Guy et al, 2017). Overall, it is still estimated that approximately 20.4% of non-Hispanic white females engage in indoor tanning annually, while the prevalence of outdoor tanning is more difficult to assess (Guy et al, 2017, Miller et al, 2018.…”

“…The risk of melanoma is higher when initial exposure occurs at a young age (< 35 years) . According to the 2015 National Health Interview Survey, 3·5% of US adults and 20·4% of non‐Hispanic white women report having used indoor tanning beds in the past year . Current skin cancer prevention messages are mostly didactic, risk‐focused, use fear as the main persuasive strategy and receive little user engagement .…”
