To examine the relationship between tobacco outlet density and social capital.
Parents of at least one teen (N = 2734) in a representative sample of US households with teens (ages 13-16).
Population-based, cross-sectional survey of a web panel of adolescent-parent pairs matched with spatial data for address to characterize household neighborhoods.
US households identified by latitude and longitude with a 50-ft random shift.
Perceived social capital (trust and informal social control as reported by parents), tobacco outlet density (retailers per land area in 1/2-mile buffer around each household), neighborhood demographics (derived from American Community Survey), and parent demographics.
Multivariable regression examined the relationship between tobacco outlet density and social capital controlling for household buffer and individual-level covariates, including correlates of social capital.
Tobacco outlet density was inversely correlated with perceived trust in neighbors ( = -1.12, = .0004), but not social control ( = 0.11, = .731).
This study is the first we are aware of to find that social capital is related to tobacco outlet density. The results imply that individuals with low social capital may benefit from policies regulating tobacco outlet density and may benefit from policies that address neighborhood inequality by increasing social capital and reducing poverty.
研究烟草销售点密度与社会资本之间的关系。
美国有青少年（年龄 13-16 岁）的代表性家庭样本中至少有一名青少年的父母（N=2734）。
对青少年-家长配对的网络小组进行基于人群的横断面调查，并结合地址的空间数据对家庭社区进行特征描述。
通过经纬度识别的美国家庭，随机移动 50 英尺。
父母报告的感知社会资本（信任和非正式社会控制）、烟草销售点密度（每 1/2 英里缓冲区的零售商数量）、邻里人口统计学（源自美国社区调查）和家长人口统计学。
多变量回归分析了烟草销售点密度与社会资本之间的关系，控制了家庭缓冲区和个体水平的协变量，包括社会资本的相关因素。
烟草销售点密度与邻里信任呈负相关（=-1.12，=0.0004），但与社会控制无关（=0.11，=0.731）。
这项研究是我们所知的第一项发现社会资本与烟草销售点密度有关的研究。结果表明，社会资本较低的个体可能受益于监管烟草销售点密度的政策，也可能受益于通过增加社会资本和减少贫困来解决邻里不平等的政策。
