背景：皮肤癌和室内晒黑的患病率在美国人口中都很高，并且在最近几年大幅增加。室内晒黑设施不遵守安全法规可能会使消费者面临更大的皮肤和眼部损伤风险。目的：本研究量化了室内晒黑设施对选定的联邦和州法规和建议的遵守程度。方法：圣地亚哥县的制革设施（N = 54）；一个假扮成潜在客户的同伙拜访了他们。通过直接查询或观察是否有标志和警告标签来评估13项规例/建议的遵守情况。同时还记录了作业者对5个风险问题的回答。结果：没有设施符合所有13项规定/建议。3项护目镜法规的符合性高（89%-100%）。相比之下，最大晒黑频率建议（约6%）和家长同意规定（约43%）的依从性低得令人不安。结论：调查人员建议对操作人员进行强制性的全面培训，并对违规行为进行系统的合规监测和处罚。

Low compliance by indoor tanning facilities with safety regulations may place consumers at greater risk of skin and ocular damage.Objective: This study quantified the level of compliance by indoor tanning facilities with selected federal and state regulations and recommendations.Methods: Tanning facilities (N = 54) in San Diego County; California, were visited by a confederate posing as a prospective customer. Compliance with 13 regulations/recommendations a cre assessed by either direct query or observation of the presence/absence of signs and warning labels. Operators' responses to 5 risk-based questions also were noted.Results: No facility complied with all 13 regulations/recommendations. Compliance with 3 protective eyewear regulations was high (89%-100%). In contrast, compliance with maximum tanning frequency recommendations (approximately 6%) and parental consent regulations (approximately 43%) was disturbingly low.Conclusion: The investigators recommend instituting mandatory comprehensive training for operators, as well as systematic compliance monitoring with enforcement of penalties for noncompliance.
