Abstract

The present study employed multilevel random-effects regression analyses to model individual and community correlates of youth supplying tobacco to other minors. Data from 8486 youth in 40 Midwestern junior high and high schools were examined. Results indicate community support for tobacco-possession laws was associated with lower likelihood of youth supplying tobacco to minors. Individual attitudes supporting tobacco possession laws were also associated with lower likelihood of supplying tobacco. Recent smoking, using a social source or purchasing tobacco in the past month, successfully purchasing tobacco during the last attempt to buy it, and having friends who use tobacco were associated with an increased likelihood of supplying tobacco to minors. Results also suggest that purchasing tobacco in the past month or being successful during the last attempt to buy it dramatically increase the odds of supplying tobacco among Never and Past Smokers. Implications of these findings are presented.

To ensure the quality of the student survey data, several checks were made on individual survey responses (Pokorny et al., 2001). Three criteria were used to eliminate participants from the data set: (1) Inconsistent responding (e.g., responding that they never smoked in one question and responding that they smoked everyday in another question); (2) Missing data on 70% or more of the items; and (3) Invalid responses or unrealistically high reports of tobacco, alcohol, or other drug use (e.g., smoked on 40 days out of the past 30 days or used all drug types every day during the past 30 days).
