15 Environmental-level predictors VariableORCI Lives within 2 mi of salon 1.41.0, 1.9 City salon density was significant in bivariate, but not multivariate, test…

16 How many facilities? average = 41.8 (SD=30.8) range = 3 (Hialeah,FL) to 183 (New York) density (per 100,000 people): 1 to 34 average density= 11.8 (SD=6.0) Hoerster, K. D., et al. (2009). Density of indoor tanning facilities in 116 large U.S. cities. American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 36(3), 243- 246.

17 Average # Businesses per City (n=116) Hoerster, K. D., et al. (2009). Density of indoor tanning facilities in 116 large U.S. cities. American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 36(3), 243-246.

18 Living near a tanning salon and use… 76% lived within 2 miles of a tanning salon For teens having no tanning salons within 2 miles of their home, 7% used indoor tanning in the past 12 months. For teens having at least 1 tanning salon, this rate was 11%.

19 Policy-level predictors Whether state had a youth access law -- ns Whether salon required parental consent --ns Frequency tanning salon would allow teen to tan--ns

20 Did indoor tanning facilities require signed parental consent? 87% did… Requiring consent was significantly related to presence of youth law 78% vs. 93% OR (no law vs law) = 0.35 (.25,.49) Pichon, LC, et al. (in press). Youth access to artificial ultraviolet radiation exposure: Practices of 3,647 indoor tanning facilities. Archives of Derm.

21 Did indoor tanning facilities allow frequent tanning? “I have fair skin…I’m 15 & have never used a tanning bed…How many times can I tan the 1 st week?” 71% of the salons said every day (mean = 6) Frequency allowed to tan not related to presence of a law Pichon, LC, et al. (in press). Youth access to artificial ultraviolet radiation exposure: Practices of 3,647 indoor tanning facilities. Archives of Derm.

26 Conclusions Parental consent laws are effective, but… parents are consenting

27 Conclusions, continued Need local zoning ordinances “All you can tan” packages-need to restrict these & session frequency Need teen bans (like France & Australia)

28 Sec. 4713.50. Under no circumstances shall an operator or employee of a tanning facility allow an individual who is under eighteen years of age to use the tanning services of the facility unless the individual presents a prescription for receiving ultraviolet radiation treatments written by a physician authorized under Chapter 4731. of the Revised Code to practice medicine and surgery or osteopathic medicine and surgery. Pending Bill in Ohio (HB 230)

29 Indoor Tanning Association Lobbying against pending Ohio law banning those under 18… Businesses, parents, etc should choose a sample letter and send to local and state gov’t officials… “ “Please put some common sense back into government. Whether or not a teen suntans is a decision for parents, not government.” www.theita.com

30 Levels of Influence Teens & parents Environment Policy

31 What will CITY100 do? Strategically share our data and conclusions with key audiences Health organizations, legislators, reporters

32 What might (should) you do? (Continue to) advocate for Ohio’s ban of minors Ohio as a model – “As goes Ohio, so goes…”
