Abstract
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is associated with greater indoor tanning, but it is unknown whether those with BDD engage in other tanning related behaviors that could further increase skin cancer risk. BDD was associated with sunless tanning and indoor tanning, but not outdoor tanning or outdoor sun exposure.
