Note: OR = Odds Ratio, SE = Standard Errors, n = Sample, Ref = Reference group. Odds ratios were obtained from logit regressions of smoking status on density/proximity, controlling for age (in STATA 15.1). There were 400 students interviewed from 20 high schools; 492 adults interviewed near those schools. The measures of density and proximity were the same for youth and adults. Density was measured by the total number of adverts within 400 m of each school. For neighborhood, poorer/richer areas are with higher/lower subdistrict-level poverty rates. The density was 1.43 times higher at schools in richer (mean = 11.27, SD = 8.29) areas than those in poorer areas (mean = 7.89, SD = 7.14). ** = significant at 5% level.
