The researchers started with two questionnaires commonly used to assess patients for ___3___ and substance-related disorders. But they modified the questions to focus on indoor tanning habits. For example: "Do you try to cut down on the time you spend in tanning beds or booths but find yourself still tanning?"
Then they gave those surveys to a couple hundred undergrads who fake'n'bake, on average, 23 times a year. The result?

This group also reported greater symptoms of anxiety, and were more likely to use drugs and alcohol. The investigators say drugs and tanning lamps might hook you through similar means, including ___4___.
As for Snooki, it may be time for an ___5___. When asked how she would change the world if she could, she said, “I would put tanning beds in everybody's homes."
