title = "Commercial tobacco retailing in tribal jurisdictions: A field study",
abstract = "Objectives: Our objective was to provide data contrasting commercial tobacco retailing in Tribal versus non-Tribal jurisdictions, in 3 states. These data may be relevant for US Food and Drug Administration regulation of Tribal retailing. Methods: With Tribal permission, observations were made on commercial tobacco advertising, product variety, pricing, and retail concept for stores within and just outside Tribal jurisdictions in areas of Arizona (AZ), California (CA), and Oklahoma (OK). Results: A total of 87 Tribal (20 AZ, 53 CA, 14 OK) and 67 (10, 43, 14) non-Tribal retailer visits were completed. There was substantial variation across tribes, with sales in AZ and most CA Tribal jurisdictions handled at convenience stores, whereas OK Tribal retailing was done mostly in specialized tobacco-specialty shops. Electronic cigarettes were ubiquitous across Tribal and non-Tribal outlets. Advertising and breadth of cigarette offerings was most extensive in the tobacco specialty retailers of Tribal OK. Surprisingly, Tribally manufactured cigarettes were found only at some CA Tribal retailers. Conclusions: Some Tribal commercial tobacco outlets actually price above their non-Tribal competitors and there is substantial variation in retailing strategy across Tribal jurisdictions. Tribal governments can continue to evaluate and reform commercial tobacco retailing so as to improve Tribal health.",

Funding Information: With funding from the National Cancer Institute, teams from the Mayo Clinic in Arizona, the Black Hills Center for American Indian Health, the University of Southern California, and Northeastern State University (Oklahoma) worked with Tribal partners from Arizona, California, and Oklahoma to develop the STARS-TCT instrument. This was done by adding a 2-page supplement to the STARS instrument (STARS, version 1.0, 5/2/14). STARS records information on retailer type, basic product pricing, advertising, tobacco product variety, and point-of-sale display and promotion.24 Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2021 PNG Publications.
