| Adjusted odds ratioa (95% CI) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1: susceptibility to future smoking | Model 2: ever tried smoking | Model 3: current smoking | Model 4: perceived supportive environment | |
| Four-unit increase in school board tobacco policy score on the STPIb | 1.02 (1.00, 1.05) | 1.00 (0.98, 1.03) | 1.00 (0.97, 1.03) | 1.01 (0.99, 1.03) |
| Four-unit increase in school tobacco policy score on the STPI | 0.98 (0.96, 1.01) | 1.00 (0.97, 1.03) | 0.95 (0.91, 0.99)* | 1.06 (1.04, 1.08)** |
aAll models controlled for student-level clustering within schools, school location (urban/rural), and self-reported student gender, grade, ethnicity, and number of friends who smoke cigarettes
