英文摘要：

Artificial ultraviolet radiation from tanning beds has been classified as carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2009. Several countries have subsequently introduced comprehensive legislation regulating commercial indoor tanning. Specific aspects of these regulations address tanning bed advertising and information requirements for tanning bed customers, which have been previously neglected in international comparisons of indoor tanning regulations. We performed a systematic search regarding legislation on these aspects in 131 legislative units across three continents (North America, Australia/New Zealand, Europe). The legal restrictions found varied widely in type and content. In 49 legislative units we identified total (n= 8) or partial legal bans (n= 41) on advertising for indoor tanning, while 64 legislative units enacted 5regulations that necessitate the dissemination of different types of specific health information to tanning bed customers. Nearly 40% of the legislative units of the study region lacked any legislation on these issues altogether. The heterogenous results emphasize the need for an international dialogue between health authorities and governments to harmonize the regulatory framework for tanning bed advertising and information requirements to a level better protecting the public from skin cancer. Our comprehensive international comparison can serve as a starting point for such a harmonization process that may ultimately protect the public worldwide from misleading tanning bed advertising.

2009年，国际癌症研究机构已将日光浴床产生的人工紫外线辐射列为致癌物。随后，多个国家出台了全面规范商业室内日光浴的法规。这些法规中的具体条款涉及日光浴床广告及对顾客的信息告知要求，而这些内容在此前关于室内日光浴法规的国际比较研究中常被忽视。我们对北美、澳大利亚/新西兰及欧洲三大洲共131个立法辖区的相关立法进行了系统性检索。研究发现，各地法律限制在类型和内容上存在显著差异。其中49个立法辖区实施了全面（8个）或部分（41个）的室内日光浴广告禁令，而64个立法辖区制定了要求向日光浴床顾客提供不同类型具体健康信息的法规。研究区域内近40%的立法辖区完全缺乏相关立法。这种立法差异凸显了卫生部门与政府间开展国际对话的必要性，以协调日光浴床广告及信息告知的监管框架，从而更有效地保护公众免受皮肤癌侵害。我们这项全面的国际比较研究可为协调进程提供起点，最终在全球范围内保护公众免受日光浴床误导性广告的影响。
