Tobacco 21 evaluation: final report

"The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) contracted RMC Research to conduct an evaluation of Tobacco 21. The evaluation used social media advertising to conduct cross-sectional online surveys of youth aged 13 to 17 and young adults aged 18 to 25 in all counties in Oregon before (pre-legislation, December 2017) and 9 months after the Tobacco 21 law took effect (post-legislation, September 2018). Respondents aged 18-20 were of particular interest post-legislation because Tobacco 21 implementation should directly impact access to tobacco products in this age range. This report includes findings from both the pre-legislation and post-legislation surveys regarding tobacco use and Tobacco 21 outcomes such as recent initiation of tobacco use (within the past 6 months), perceived ease of access to tobacco, requests for proof of age when purchasing tobacco products, and age of tobacco use initiation"--Executive summary.prepared by RMC Research Corporation ; prepared for Oregon Health Authority.Title from PDF cover (viewed on February 4, 2022).This archived document is maintained by the State Library of Oregon as part of the Oregon Documents Depository Program.
