Abstract

Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. For many Midwesterners, the tanning bed is a necessity of life. Now, it’s also officially a cancer-causing agent, according to the World Health Organization. In a recent report, the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer states that there is a causal link between ultraviolet radiation produced by tanning beds and cancer. DeAnn Lazovich a University of Minnesota cancer epidemiologist, explains. <Clip: “Well the IARC report looked at the most recent evidence…being melanoma,specifically.”> Based on this report and her own research, Lazovich offers advice.<clip: “The IARC report certainly confirmed that…to reduce the risk of skin cancer.”> With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
