Selection Rationale

The Standardized Tobacco Assessment for Retail Settings – Flavored Tobacco (fSTARS) survey is a user-friendly protocol comprising reliable measures used in prior store-observation studies. It was developed for the National Cancer Institute’s State and Community Tobacco Control Initiative by the Retail Environment Working Group, with additional support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Epidemiology Branch. The tool was developed through a collaboration of public health departments, researchers, public health attorneys, federal partners, and tobacco-control advocacy organizations. fSTARS was designed for practitioners to inform state and local tobacco control policies for the point of sale. The survey was designed for use by self-trained youth and adults. It was selected because of its reliability, user-friendly format, and short completion time.
