In this study, we are modeling the community impacts of limiting tobacco sales to places where people must be the legal age of tobacco sale. We are also talking to young people about how they navigate tobacco purchases, and we are using geographic ecological momentary assessment methods to assess exposure to tobacco retailers that would be present or not under different policy scenarios.
This multi-site study includes NC, where Dr. Joseph Lee and Mr. Efosa Iyore lead efforts in partnership with the coordinating site at the Ohio State University. The study will result in a better understanding of how policies to reduce tobacco use impact communities. NIH RePORTER Details.
