  • The coefficient of time×target community represents the change in prevalence of 30-day use in Needham relative to the 16 comparison communities from 2006 to 2010.

  • *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.

  • β1, difference in log-odds of a 30-day prevalence of smoking between Needham and non-Needham communities at 2006; β2, change in log-odds of a 30-day prevalence of smoking per 2-year interval, from 2006 to 2010, in non-Needham communities; β3, difference in change of log-odds of a 30-day prevalence of smoking per 2-year interval, from 2006 to 2010, between Needham and non-Needham communities.
