This randomized clinical trial tests the efficacy of a behavioral intervention works in reducing indoor tanning. Artificial ultraviolet indoor tanning increases the chance of developing skin cancers. Behavioral interventions use techniques to help participants change the way they react to environmental triggers that may cause a negative reaction.
