Welcome  to  Public  Health  moment from  the  University  of  Minnesota. Nearly  one  in  five  women  say that  they  use  indoor  tanning  facilities. Yet  only  13%  of  women  say  that  people  should  avoid tanning  salons  when  considering ways  to  prevent  skin  cancer. That's  according  to  a  nationwide  study that  involved  nearly  2,900  people. The  University  of  Minnesota  led  the  study. Calvin  0,  a  public  health  researcher  at Minnesota  says  that  about  6%  of men  reported  tanning  indoors. Choice  says  that  young  adults  are  even more  likely  to  tan  a  indoor  salons. He  says  that  36%  of  women  and  12%  of  men  between  the  ages of  18.24  reported  using  indoor  tanning  salons. Indoor  attending  use  is  common, particularly  among  young  women. The  proportion  of  young  women  who  tended  in the  past  year  is  even  higher than  cigarette  smoking  in  this  age  group. While  the  World  Health  Organization  considers both  as  carcinogenic  to  humans, the  popularity  of  indoor  attending  among young  women  may  also  contribute  to the  recent  increase  in melanoma  skin  cancer  in  women  under  the  age  of  40. Choice  says  more  awareness  is  needed. I  think  tech  home  message  here is  that  consumers  need  to  know  that. The  World  Health  Organization  concluded that  indoor  attending  use  cause  skin  cancer. And  avoid  using  tanning  beds  and  boots  are probably  the  easiest  way  to  reduce their  chances  of  getting  skin  cancer.
