Abstract

Keratinocyte carcinoma and melanoma are associated with a history of indoor tanning bed use. Despite strong evidence for the effect of indoor tanning on skin cancer and photo-aging, people continue to use UV-emitting tanning devices. We sought to assess and compare interest in indoor tanning among countries with different indoor tanning regulations with Google Trends. From 2004 - 2019 we extracted search queries for “σολαριουμ” (“solarium”) which is greek for indoor tanning and “indoor tanning” for the United States, “solarium” for Australia, France, Sweden, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Brazil.
