Efficacy and safety of topical WBI-1001 in the treatment of atopic dermatitis: results from a phase 2A, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

explain unique variance associated with sunbathing intentions and intentions to sun protect. For both analyses, age, sex, skin type, and perceived susceptibility were entered in step 1, followed by the 3 appearance-based tanning motives (appearance reasons to tan, appearance reasons not to tan, and sociocultural influences) entered in step 2. The overall R for both analyses was significant and indicated that a high level of variance was accounted for by the predictors (sunbathing R=.50; sun protection R=.62). In both regressions, appearance subscales of the PARTS explained significant variance beyond that explained by age, sex, skin type, and perceived susceptibility (Table). Appearance reasons to tan were significantly associated with sunbathing intentions (P .01) but not with sun protection intentions (P=.07): adolescents who positively endorsed appearance reasons to tan also reported more frequent intentions to sunbathe in the next 12 months and fewer intentions to sun protect. Appearance reasons not to tan were significantly associated with sunbathing intentions (P=.03) and with sun protection intentions (P .01): participants scoring higher on appearance reasons not to tan also reported fewer intentions to sunbathe and higher intentions to sun protect.
