经常使用室内日光浴设施的青少年患皮肤癌的风险可能会增加。这个年龄段的室内晒黑水平很高，部分原因可能是美国城市中有大量的晒黑设施。本研究探讨了设施如何分布在一个大县。基于生态模型，预测晒黑设施更有可能位于某些社区内，基于社区的人口因素分布，包括收入，教育程度，种族/民族，年龄和性别。我们还探讨了建筑环境的某些方面，包括高中和健身中心的数量，是否会预测晒黑设施的数量。通过地理信息系统制图，对圣地亚哥县605个人口普查区域内的制革设施数量进行了检查。多变量Poisson对数线性回归的结果表明，人口普查区域内以下变量的数量或比例较高，与晒黑设施的数量显著正相关：健身中心，15-19岁的青少年，15-24岁的女性，25-29岁的女性和非西班牙裔白人。使用1000英尺的缓冲区周围的每个人口普查区边界的额外分析的结果表明，较高的相对分布以下变量显着，与晒黑设施的数量呈正相关：高中，健身中心，女性15-24岁，女性25-29岁，和非西班牙裔白人。这些研究结果表明，在人口普查区域内，晒黑设施的数量与某些建筑环境和人口特征之间存在关系。确定这种关系对于制定未来的干预措施非常重要。
Adolescents frequenting indoor tanning facilities may have an increased risk of skin cancer. The high level of indoor tanning by this age group may be due, in part, to the large number of tanning facilities in US cities. This study examined how facilities are distributed throughout one large county. Based on ecological models, it was predicted that tanning facilities are more likely to be located within certain neighborhoods based on the neighborhood’s distributions of demographic factors, including income, educational attainment, race/ethnicity, age, and sex. We also explored whether selected aspects of the built environment, including the numbers of high schools and fitness centers, would predict the number of tanning facilities. The number of tanning facilities within 605 census tracts of San Diego County was examined through geographic information systems mapping. Results from multivariate Poisson log-linear regression indicated that higher numbers or proportions of the following variables within a census tract were significantly, positively correlated with the number of tanning facilities: fitness centers, teenagers 15–19 years, females 15–24 years, females 25–29 years, and non-Hispanic Whites. Results from additional analyses using a 1000-foot buffer zone around each census tract boundary showed that higher relative distributions of the following variables were significantly, positively correlated with the number of tanning facilities: high schools, fitness centers, females 15–24 years, females 25–29 years, and non-Hispanic Whites. These findings suggest a relationship exists between the numbers of tanning facilities and certain built-environmental and demographic characteristics within census tracts. Determining this relationship is important for developing future interventions.
