Clinical Trial Summary
The purpose of this study is to: a) identify enablers and barriers to deliberate ultraviolet
light exposure by young sexual minority men (SMM), and b) quantify the extent of their
deliberate ultraviolet light exposure.
Description:
Aim 1: To develop survey items to assess tanning attitudes and behaviors Nine survey items
used by the PI in previous deliberate tanning research were adapted with the expert consensus
of members of Northwestern's Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing.
Discussions with the PI, research personnel and members of the institute developed the
hypothesis that in addition to the previously reported appearance motivations young SMM may
be engaging in tanning (indoors or outdoors) as a social activity. A tenth survey item was
developed to assess deliberate tanning as a social activity.
Aim 2: Analyze the tanning attitudes and behavior data acquired in an online survey of young
adult sexual minority males, who regularly participate in the RADAR study.
RADAR is a longitudinal study with cohorts from the greater Chicago region recruited between
2008 and 2015. The 10 survey items about tanning attitudes and behaviors were added to the
online survey that examines SMMs' behavior in the prior 6 months. This is a secondary
analysis of registry data acquired by the RADAR study.
