Some have extrapolated this relationship and surmised that developing and maintaining a tan will reduce the risk of sunburns and melanoma. In order to examine whether this strategy indeed protects against sunburns, we surveyed college students about both their tanning habits prior to spring break and their spring break activities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sorority and fraternity students were recruited after spring break.

We also found that tanning using an artificial <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">UV<\/jats:styled-content> source during the 10 weeks prior to spring break was not associated with reduced risk of sunburns during spring\u2010break, but rather with a marginal increase in this risk.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These data provide evidence that maintaining a tan may not provide protection from sunburns.
