  1. Notes: †0.05 < p < 0.10; *p ≤ 0.05; ** ≤ 0.01. Coefficients are from a multiple linear regression and represent associations between outlet density and individual-level intentions to use among adults 18 and older living in Los Angeles County in 2018. Models were cluster-robust and adjusted for age, gender, educational attainment, employment, and neighborhood educational attainment
