Abstract

To evaluate the effect of the Danish Sun Safety Campaign 2007-2015 on the prevalence of sunbed use and to model future effects on the skin cancer incidences 2007-2040. The study has a repeated, cross-sectional design. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation is the main risk factor for skin cancer. Denmark has the highest prevalence of sunbed use reported and one of the highest incidences of skin cancer worldwide. During 2007-2015, survey data were collected for 37 766 Danes, representative of the Danish population with regards to age, gender and region. In 2007, an ongoing long-term antisunbed campaign was launched in Denmark. Sunbed use was evaluated by annual cross-sectional surveys. Skin cancer incidence was modelled in the Prevent programme, using population projections, historic cancer incidence, sunbed use exposure and relative risk of sunbed use on melanoma. The prevalence of recent sunbed use in Denmark was reduced from 32% and 18% to 13% and 8% for women and men, respectively. The campaigns results during 2007-2015 are estimated to reduce the number of skin cancer cases from more than 5000 (746malignant melanoma, 1562 SCC, 2673 BCC) totally during 2007-2040. Keeping the 2015 level of sunbed use constant by continued campaign...Continue Reading
