Résumé :
In many communities, laws prohibiting minors from purchasing and/or possessing tobacco have made it difficult to conduct studies to monitor vendor compliance with tobacco minimum age sale laws. To get around this problem, some health groups have sponsored compliance checks in which minors attempt to purchase tobacco but are instructed to break off the sale prior to the exchange of money. However, we are not aware of any studies that have attempted to validate this method of measuring vendor compliance with tobacco age sale laws.
For this reason, we conducted an experimental study designed to test whether vendor compliance rates differ when minors purchase (payment condition) or merely attempt to purchase (no payment condition) tobacco products during an undercover buying operation. [Extract]
