      abstract     = {The suntanning industry has grown up over the last decade
                      in Europe, mainly because tanned skin is considered socially
                      desirable and attractive. 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.},
