This study examined the geographic association between tobacco outlet density and the demographic indicators of median household income and percentage of Hispanic residents in New Jersey. Tobacco outlet density was assessed by examining all tobacco retailers licensed in 2004 in New Jersey, and demographic variables were based on the 2000 United States Census. Results indicated that the percentage of Hispanic residents and median household income were both salient predictors of tobacco outlet density. We also observed that income level moderated the relationship between the percentage of Hispanics residents and tobacco outlet density. Implications for environmentally based tobacco prevention and control initiatives are discussed.
本研究调查了新泽西州烟草销售点密度与家庭收入中位数及西班牙裔居民百分比等人口统计学指标之间的地理关联。通过考察2004年新泽西州所有获得许可的烟草零售商来评估烟草销售点密度，人口统计学变量则基于2000年美国人口普查数据。结果表明，西班牙裔居民百分比和家庭收入中位数都是烟草销售点密度的显著预测因素。我们还观察到，收入水平缓和了西班牙裔居民百分比与烟草销售点密度之间的关系。文中讨论了基于环境的烟草预防与控制举措的意义。
