|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following tables show tobacco use attitudes and behavior data for which there is a statistically significant difference within a specified population or demographic characteristic. The data have been pulled from the "Selected Relational Investigations" section (Tables 7A–G) of the complete final report prepared by Joel LaLone. The introduction to the Relational section states, "The focus will be the identification of factors that may or may not be related to attitudes and behaviors regarding tobacco issues among Tompkins County adults. For example, the question of whether smoking and gender are related..." Accordingly, using Table 7A (page 14) in the report you can predict that a Tompkins County adult who uses tobacco is more likely to be male, age 25–34, have some college (but not a degree,) be employed, and not have health insurance coverage. On the other hand, race is not a good predictor of tobacco use among Tompkins County adults, nor is presence of children living in the household or type of health insurance coverage. The tables shown below, rather than profiling
within tobacco use factors (survey questions,) profile use factors (survey
answers) for specific demographic groups; males vs. females,
no college vs. college grad, and tobacco user vs.
non-user. Only highly significant (**p<0.05) statistical correlations
are listed. See the full report for
additional significant (*p<0.10) relations and factors for which
relationships are not statistically significant. Tobacco use attitudes and behaviors X tobacco use
Tobacco use attitudes and behaviors X gender
Tobacco use attitudes and behaviors X education level
