Trends of Tobacco Compliance in Wyoming
Ward, Lucia

Abstract
Description
The Synar Tobacco Inspections take place throughout Wyoming
each summer and seek to determine whether tobacco retailers in the state are
selling to underage buyers. While completing inspections, buyers collect data
pertaining to the details of the store they enter, observations about the
clerk, and details about the interaction they have with the clerk. After many
years of Synar inspections, this research seeks to determine whether trends for
best practices have emerged. Logistic regression is used to determine predictive
factors that have the greatest effect on inspection outcome. Further,
stratification by year explores how the effects of different predictors have
changed over time. Future research should explore the effects of Tobacco 21 on
retailer compliance and explore spatial and temporal trends.
