    Indoor Tanning
    (2011-01-03) Engebretson, Mark; Kelvin Choi
    Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. Nearly 1 in 5 women say that they use indoor tanning facilities, yet only 13 percent 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. Kelvin Choi, a public health researcher at Minnesota, says that about 6 percent of men reported tanning indoors. Choi says that young adults are even more likely to tan at indoor salons. He says that 36 percent of women and 12 percent of men between the ages of 18 and 24 reported using indoor tanning salons. Choi says more awareness is needed.
