Abstract

Little is known about tanning addiction in adolescents. Miller et al. found that 7.0% of 11th grade students met addiction criteria. After adjusting for all other comorbidities, the odds of addiction were two times greater for students who reported problem use of marijuana or obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms. The likelihood of addiction increased with problem substance use and psychological symptoms.
