This legislation, which differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, regulates the operation of indoor tanning facilities. The content and comprehensiveness of such legislation\u2014and its differences across jurisdictions\u2014have not been analyzed. To address this research gap, we conducted a systematic, comprehensive scan and content analysis on provincial and territorial indoor tanning legislation, including regulations and supplementary information.<\/p>\n       <\/sec>\n       <sec>\n         <title>Methods<\/title>\n         <p>Legislative information was collected from the Canadian Legal Information Institute database and an environmental scan was conducted to locate supplementary information. Through a process informed by the content of the legislation, previous research and health authority recommendations, we developed a 59-variable codebook. Descriptive statistics were calculated.<\/p>\n       <\/sec>\n       <sec>\n         <title>Results<\/title>\n         <p>All provinces and one of three territories have legislation regulating indoor tanning. Areas of strength across jurisdictions are youth access restrictions (n = 11), posting of warning signs (n = 11), penalties (n = 11) and restrictions on advertising and marketing targeted to youth (n = 7). Few jurisdictions, however, cover areas such as protective eyewear (n = 4), unsupervised tanning (n = 4), provisions for inspection frequency (n = 4), misleading health claims in advertisements directed toward the general public (n = 2) and screening of high-risk clients (n = 0).<\/p>\n       <\/sec>\n\t   <sec>\n         <title>Conclusion<\/title>\n         <p>All provinces and one territory have made progress in regulating the indoor tanning industry, particularly by prohibiting youth and using warning labels to communicate risk. Legislative gaps should be addressed in order to better protect Canadians from this avoidable skin cancer risk.<\/p>\n       <\/sec>","DOI":"10.24095\/hpcdp.39.2.02","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,11]],"date-time":"2019-02-11T18:54:52Z","timestamp":1549911292000},"page":"45-55","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Assessing the content and comprehensiveness of provincial and territorial indoor tanning legislation in Canada"],"prefix":"10.24095","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Sydney","family":"Gosselin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population Medicine, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer E.","family":"McWhirter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population Medicine, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10188","container-title":["Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-health\/services\/reports-publications\/health-promotion-chronic-disease-prevention-canada-research-policy-practice\/vol-39-no-2-2019\/assessing-provincial-territorial-indoor-tanning-legislation.html","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,11]],"date-time":"2019-02-11T18:54:53Z","timestamp":1549911293000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-health\/services\/reports-publications\/health-promotion-chronic-disease-prevention-canada-research-policy-practice\/vol-39-no-2-2019\/assessing-provincial-territorial-indoor-tanning-legislation.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,2]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.24095\/hpcdp.39.2.02","archive":["Internet Archive"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2368-738X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2368-738X","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,2]]}}}
