| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS i2BTR0x6. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We identified and quantified differences in sociodemographic characteristics of communities relative to the strength of local restaurant smoking regulations in Massachusetts. Methods : We examined the relationship between the strength of the 351 local restaurant smoking regulations in Massachusetts and a number of town level characteristics, using a multinomial logistic regression model. Results : Characteristics important to the adoption of stronger restaurant smoking, regulations included higher education and per capita income, geographic region, voter support for a state cigarette tax initiative, board of health funding to promote clean in door air policymaking, and the presence of a bordering town with a strong regulation. Conclusions : The current pattern of smoke free restaurant policy enactment fosters socioeconomic and geographic disparities in health protection, undermining, an important national health goal. |
