Analysis of facilitators of and barriers to enactment of state regulation of indoor tanning by minors

Abstract

Despite evidence of laws' impact on minors' IT, policy enaction is challenging and slow. Understanding key facilitators and barriers may help advocates to advance legislation efforts. Advocating for stringent laws necessitates consideration of potential downstream effects. For example, even with policy enactment, KIs believed enforcement and compliance were likely insufficient and variable, with minors continuing to indoor tan, putting them at risk for potentially deadly skin cancer.
