Because of the potential negative impact of artificial tanning on public health, this study was to investigate tanning bed use behaviour, UV related risk perception and beliefs about tanning in the German population.In 2007, a representative telephone survey was carried out among 1501 German residents aged 14 years and older.More than one fourth (28%) of the German population have used tanning beds at least once before in their lifetime. High-frequency tanning behaviour, i.e. using tanning beds more than 10 times per year, were recorded for 11%. Men and women aged 18 to 44 years and young women under the age of 18 used tanning beds more frequently (>10 times per year). Tanning bed use was positively related to appearance and lifestyle related beliefs as well as to the perception that tanned skin is healthy.This analysis indicates that tanning bed use is common in Germany. The positive relationships of appearance and health related beliefs with tanning bed use are of great concern. The results indicate underlying misconceptions about the positive effect of artificial UV radiation compared to natural UV radiation particular for high-frequency tanners. The data shows the importance as well as the limitations for risk communication in its current effort to inform effectively about the dangers of artificial UV radiation. 000006271 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK408$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aNachhaltige Entwicklung und Technik$$cP26$$x0 000006271 588__ $$aDataset connected to Pubmed 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAdolescent 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAdult 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAged 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAged, 80 and over 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aBeauty Culture: statistics & numerical data 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCosmetic Techniques: statistics & numerical data 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCosmetic Techniques: utilization 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aFemale 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aGermany 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHealth Behavior 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHealth Surveys 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHumans 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMale 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMiddle Aged 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aSkin: radiation effects 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aUltraviolet Rays: adverse effects 000006271 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aYoung Adult 000006271 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131903$$aSchütz, H.$$b1$$uFZJ 000006271 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131906$$aWiedemann, P.M.$$b2$$uFZJ 000006271 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2059863-4$$a10.1186/1471-5945-9-6$$gVol. 9, p. 6$$p6$$q9<6$$tBMC dermatology$$v9$$x1471-5945$$y2009 000006271 8567_ $$2Pubmed Central$$uhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2724378 000006271 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:6271$$pVDB 000006271 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0020$$aNo peer review 000006271 9141_ $$y2009 000006271 9131_ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK408$$bUmwelt$$kP26$$lNachhaltige Entwicklung und Technik$$vNachhaltige Entwicklung und Technik$$x0$$zfortgesetzt als P47 000006271 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-8-20090406$$gINM$$kINM-8$$lEthik in den Neurowissenschaften$$x0 000006271 970__ $$aVDB:(DE-Juel1)114468 000006271 980__ $$aVDB 000006271 980__ $$aConvertedRecord 000006271 980__ $$ajournal 000006271 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-8-20090406 000006271 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
