Such students may also have increased use of tanning beds and sunless tanning products. Higher socioeconomic status has been related to an increased CMM risk. This convenience sample will likely be at higher socioeconomic status and disposable income than other students. This will be accomplished via a cross-sectional study conducted in fraternity and sorority students.

We will also ask about history of sunburns, recent UV exposure, and potential UV exposure based on places of residence along with the potential confounding effects of sun sensitivity (tendency to burn, inability to tan, skin color, hair color, eye color and freckling). We propose to survey college students about their attitudes and use of tanning beds, sunless tanning products, and sunscreen. We will examine nevi, as an early outcome or surrogate for CMM, in college students. Many studies have shown that nevi are good markers of risk for CMM.
Considering the apparent enormous popularity of sunlamp and tanning bed use, it seems imperative to describe tanning bed habits among young persons. There is concern that sunlamp or tanning bed use may also be related to CMM, either directly or indirectly by prolonging sun exposure after tanning. DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the major etiologic risk factor implicated in the development of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) and in precursor lesions such as nevi (common moles).
