This study examinedwhether living or going to school in neighborhoodswith higher tobacco outlet density is associated with higher odds of cigarette smokingamong teens, and with perceptions of greatersmoking prevalence and peer approval. Using an Internet panel that is representative of US households, we matched data from teenparent pairs (n= 2771, surveyed June 2011-December 2012) with environmental data about home and school neighborhoods. Density was measured as the number of tobacco outlets per square mile for a 1/2-mile roadway service area around each participant's home and school. Logistic regressions tested relationships between tobacco outlet density near home and schoolswith ever smoking. Linear regressions tested relationships between density, perceived prevalence and peer approval. Models were adjusted for teen, parent/household and neighborhood characteristics. In total, 41.0% of US teens (ages 13-16) lived within 1/2 mile of a tobacco outlet, and 44.4% attended school within 1000 ft of a tobacco outlet. Higher tobacco outlet density near homewas associated with higher odds of ever smoking, although the relationship was small, OR = 1.01, 95% CI (1.00, 1.02). Higher tobacco outlet density near home was also associated with perceptions that more adults smoked, coef. = 0.09, 95% CI (0.01, 0.17). Higher tobacco outlet density near schools was not associated with any outcomes. Living in neighborhoodswith higher tobacco outlet densitymay contribute to teen smoking by increasing access to tobacco products and by cultivating perceptions that smoking ismore prevalent. Policy interventions to restrict tobacco outlet density should not be limited to school environments. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
