Data were collected for the entire year of 2020. Analysis was conducted at the dispensary level. Data from one social media account could be used for multiple dispensaries if that account represented multiple retail locations. Linear regression models were used to examine differences in non-compliance outcomes by dispensary neighborhood race/ethnicity and income as well as dispensary type. Additionally, adjusted regression models that included neighborhood income tertiles, race/ethnicity tertiles, and dispensary type were used. Pairwise t-tests were employed to compare means across tertile groups for models with income and race/ethnicity tertiles. p-values were adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni method. None of the differences in means were statistically significant at the 5% significance level
