Abstract

Background: Ultraviolet radiation, either from a natural or artificial source, is categorized as a carcinogen to humans. Nevertheless, the use of sunbeds has been increasing in recent years, mainly among adolescents and young adults. As restrictions to sunbed use, especially the access to minors, vary widely among countries, we sought to analyze the current legislation regarding sunbed use in Europe. Materials and Methods: The Euromelanoma network developed a 30-item questionnaire that covered the most relevant aspects of sunbed use legislation. It was sent to all participating representatives of the Euromelanoma network.
