a

Multilevel regression models for each continuous outcome. Values are b (95% CI) [P value] and refer to single packs.

b

Univariable models including individual racial/ethnic zip code cluster and store type regressor, separately. Unadjusted associations between each regressor and menthol cigarette retail marketing outcomes are shown.

c

Includes donut shops and gas kiosks.

d

Multivariable model including racial/ethnic zip code cluster and store type regressors simultaneously. Adjusted associations between each regressor and outcomes of menthol cigarette retail marketing are shown.
