Note. The Wave 3 all-wave weights were used for the analyses presented in this table. Therefore, the individuals represented in this table had to be present at all three waves – Wave 1, Wave 2, and Wave 3. Bolded values indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05) based on a chi-square test.
Receipt of Wave 3 free tobacco product sample receipt was asked only to those 12–17 years old at Wave 3. Since we used age at Wave 2 as our definition for youth and adults in this analysis, free tobacco product sample receipt at Wave 3 does not include the 1737 youth who turned 18 years old between Wave 2 and Wave 3.
Other race/ethnicity includes American Indian/Alaskan Native, Non-Hispanic; Asian, Non-Hispanic; NH or OP, Non-Hispanic; more than one race, Non-Hispanic.
At Wave 2, youth were asked whether they received a coupon or promotion for a tobacco product or e-cigarette in the past 30 days. At Wave 3, youth were asked whether they received coupons or promotions for tobacco products in the past 12 months. Youth at Wave 3 were asked about receipt of coupons or promotions for shisha or hookah tobacco. This item was not asked of adults at Wave 3 or of adults or youth at any prior waves.
Estimate has been flagged because it is statistically unreliable. It is based on a sample size of less than 50, or the coefficient of variation of the estimate is larger than 30%.
