: The current study is a secondary data analysis. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the Public Health Institute (PHI) approved this research, as well as the original data collection and geocoding procedures.
: All procedures involving human participants (the National Alcohol Surveys) were conducted in accordance with ethical standards of the institutional research committee and with the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments.
: Survey respondents were informed that participation was voluntary. Continuing consent was assumed by the individual’s willingness to remain on the phone answering questions, but if they wished to end, and stated that they did not wish to continue at another time, that was accepted. Signed documentation of consent was not feasible in a telephone survey and was waived as a requirement by the PHI IRB.
