FILE - This Dec. 9, 2011 file photo shows an open tanning bed in Sacramento, Calif. On Dec. 18, 2015, Federal health officials are proposing a ban on the use of tanning beds for anyone under the age of 18, part of an ongoing effort to reduce skin cancers caused by the devices. The Food and Drug Administration proposal would also require tanning bed users to sign consent forms acknowledging the risks of the radiation-emitting devices.(AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)

Read more about Dr. Aaron Blashill‘s research on the prevalence of seasonal affective disorder, perceived stress, and body dysmorphic disorder in women who frequently use indoor tanning published in JAMA Dermatology and covered in a U.S. News and World Report article.
