Table 4.

ORs with 95% CIs for three outcomes in three groups of frequency of visits to small shops, as derived from generalised estimating equation (GEE) models that included interaction between time segments and frequency of visits to small shops. Interactions test differential associations between time segments and outcomes, between exposure groups

*Rarely was the reference category in the interaction analysis.

†Tobacco accessibility was defined as perceiving tobacco to be purchasable in shops by someone their age.

‡Smoking norm was defined as perceiving that friends think it is OK for people their age to smoke.

§Smoking attitude was defined as thinking it is OK for someone their age to smoke.
