To examine the association of neighbourhood median income and racial/ethnic composition with the availability of tobacco products in Omaha Metropolitan Area, Nebraska, USA.
A total of 94 census tracts were selected at random. The outcome measures were the percentage of stores that sold tobacco and the number of stores that sold tobacco per square mile in each census tract.
Median household income was negatively associated (P<0.001), and percentage African American population (P<0.001) and percentage Hispanic population (P=0.049) were positively associated with the percentage of stores that sold tobacco. Median household income was negatively associated (P<0.001) and percentage Hispanic population (P=0.012) was positively associated with the number of stores that sold tobacco per square mile.
Policies that reduce the number of tobacco outlets might reduce social disparities in tobacco use.
研究美国内布拉斯加州奥马哈都会区邻里中间收入和种族/民族构成与烟草制品供应的关系。
随机选择了 94 个普查区。结果衡量指标为每个普查区销售烟草的商店比例和每平方英里销售烟草的商店数量。
家庭收入中位数与销售烟草的商店比例呈负相关(P<0.001),非裔美国人比例(P<0.001)和西班牙裔人口比例(P=0.049)与销售烟草的商店比例呈正相关。家庭收入中位数与销售烟草的商店比例呈负相关(P<0.001),西班牙裔人口比例(P=0.012)与每平方英里销售烟草的商店数量呈正相关。
减少烟草销售点数量的政策可能会减少烟草使用方面的社会差异。
