Indoor tanning continues to grow in popularity even amidst empirical reports denouncing the behavior. Various reports have illustrated the detrimental health effects of ultraviolet ray exposure, including increased risk for skin cancer. According to some physicians, the risk may be especially high for adolescents, whose skins' cells are dividing and changing more rapidly than those of adults. Frequent usage of tanning facilities has become especially apparent within adolescent female populations. With the increasing number of adolescents using tanning beds, there has been extensive research done examining factors which are root determinants of the adolescent indoor tanning behavior. The purpose of this presentation is to present findings from a systematic literature review conducted to answer the question, “What are the determinants of indoor tanning behavior among adolescent females?” Characteristics such as knowledge of skin cancer risk, attitudes, parental/peer influence, ethnic backgrounds, skin types, and age were all explored. The methodological quality of each study was also assessed. Consistent results from all reviewed studies showed that girls were at least 2-3 times more likely to tan indoors than were boys. Age, demographics, skin type, attitudes, beliefs, and social factors were among the determinants identified throughout the literature. This presentation will specifically examine all findings applicable to the female gender. Suggestions for future research endeavors will also be included.
