Frequent indoor tanning bed use is an established public health concern, yet research on tanning cessation interventions for frequent tanners is lacking. We describe the protocol for a brief, web-based tanning behavior change intervention and present evidence that it is acceptable and engaging to frequent indoor tanners. Lower tanning rates were not observed among participants receiving the intervention in a randomized controlled trial but participants’ interest in changing tanning increased. This intervention could be a useful approach to increasing frequent tanners’ interest in behavior change and openness to engaging within a more intensive, multi-component tanning cessation program.

经常使用室内晒黑床是一个既定的公共卫生问题，但缺乏对频繁晒黑者停止晒黑干预的研究。我们描述了一个简短的、基于网络的晒黑行为改变干预的协议，并提供了证据表明它是可以接受的，并且对频繁的室内晒黑者有吸引力。在随机对照试验中接受干预的参与者中未观察到较低的晒黑率，但参与者对改变晒黑的兴趣增加了。这种干预可能是一种有用的方法，可以增加经常制革者对行为改变的兴趣，以及参与更密集、多组成部分的制革停止计划的开放性。
