目标。最近，几个州颁布了室内晒黑法，包括年龄限制，以减少未成年人的室内晒黑。我们研究了这些法律对青少年室内晒黑的影响。我们使用了2009年和2011年全国青少年危险行为调查中具有全国代表性的数据（n = 31 835）。使用多变量逻辑回归，我们检验了州室内晒黑法与美国高中生室内晒黑之间的关系。在有室内晒黑法的州，女学生参与室内晒黑的可能性低于没有相关法律的州。我们观察到，在有系统访问、父母许可和年龄限制法律的州，女学生之间的联系比没有法律的州更强。我们发现，在只有系统访问和父母许可法的州，女学生和男学生之间没有显著的联系。室内晒黑法，特别是那些包括年龄限制的法律，可能有效地减少女高中生的室内晒黑，因为她们的晒黑率最高。这种减少有可能减轻皮肤癌的健康和经济负担。
Objectives. Recently, several state indoor tanning laws, including age restrictions, were promulgated to reduce indoor tanning among minors. We examined the effects of these laws on adolescent indoor tanning.Methods. We used nationally representative data from the 2009 and 2011 national Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (n = 31 835). Using multivariable logistic regression, we examined the association between state indoor tanning laws and indoor tanning among US high school students.Results. Female students in states with indoor tanning laws were less likely to engage in indoor tanning than those in states without any laws. We observed a stronger association among female students in states with systems access, parental permission, and age restriction laws than among those in states without any laws. We found no significant association among female students in states with only systems access and parental permission laws or among male students.Conclusions. Indoor tanning laws, particularly those including age restrictions, may be effective in reducing indoor tanning among female high school students, for whom rates are the highest. Such reductions have the potential to reduce the health and economic burden of skin cancer.
