The Florida Office of Tobacco Control sponsors evaluations of the effect of its comprehensive youth tobacco prevention initiatives. As part of this evaluation, a quasi-experiment designed to assess the effect of law enforcement on youth tobacco use was conducted. An in-depth qualitative study was a critical component of this research. This study provided a rich description of the context in which law enforcement was implemented. Data collection involved interviews with judges, clerks of court, and selected officials in each of the study counties. Approximately 70 interviews were conducted. Extensive, ongoing computer-assisted analysis complemented the process. Several consistent themes emerged during the research that helped to give contextual meaning to the findings. These themes provided critical insights into the complexity of policies about youth tobacco possession, and the findings helped illuminate the varying contexts in which these interventions were applied.
佛罗里达州烟草控制办公室资助对其全面的青少年烟草预防倡议的效果进行评估。作为该评估的一部分，开展了一项旨在评估执法对青少年烟草使用影响的准实验。一项深入的定性研究是这项研究的关键组成部分。该研究对执法实施的背景进行了丰富的描述。数据收集包括对每个研究县的法官、法庭书记员和选定官员进行访谈。共进行了约70次访谈。广泛的、持续的计算机辅助分析对这一过程起到了补充作用。研究过程中出现了几个一致的主题，有助于为研究结果赋予背景意义。这些主题为青少年持有烟草政策的复杂性提供了关键见解，研究结果有助于阐明这些干预措施应用的不同背景。
