About the Data
Description of the data source, numerator, denominator, survey questions, and other relevant details about the national estimate.
Number of students in grades 6 through 12 exposed to point of purchase tobacco marketing
Number of students in grades 6 through 12 who go to convenience stores, supermarkets, or gas stations
From the 2009 National Youth Tobacco Survey:
When you go to a convenience store, super market, or gas station, how often do you see ads for cigarettes and other tobacco products or items that have tobacco company names or pictures on them?
- I never go to a convenience store, supermarket, or gas station.
- All of the time
- Most of the time
- Some of the time
- Hardly ever
Students are considered to be exposed to tobacco marketing if they answer ‘all of the time,’ ‘most of the time’ or ‘some of the time’ or to the survey question. In 2011, the answer categories 'always', 'most of the time', and 'sometimes' were considered to be exposed.
