  1. dGorig, 2018 was not included in the calculation of means, since individuals who use tanning facilities were surveyed, rather than the people running the facilities or the facilities themselves. Doing so allowed for the denominator (tanning facilities/operators) to be consistent
  2. eHealth benefits claimed are reported as non-compliance. Studies reported the number of facilities who claimed health benefits even though legislation does not allow health benefit claims. All other outcomes are reported as compliance
