Logistic regression results: Prediction of skin cancer risk behaviors

Few (0–3) sunburns before age 20 Never indoor tanning
OR 95% CI OR 95% CI
Use sunscreen 0.77 0.42–1.42 1.37 0.68–2.78
Seek shade 0.57 0.24–1.39 1.98 0.67–5.86
Wear protective clothing 0.89 0.51–1.57 1.79 0.94–3.40
Note. Covariates included in these models:
  • Sunburns as outcome (none). This model was run a second time with additional covariates from the literature (race, sex, and age), which did not significantly impact the results.
  • Tanning as outcome (age, sex, race, personal history).
