Abstract
To design a valid and reliable questionnaire to assess community support for controlling tobacco. Four samples were obtained to test the psychometric properties of the Social Will for Tobacco Control Instrument. Principal components analysis found 2 factors accounted for 42.8% (personal support) and 9.7% (agency support) of the variance, respectively. Sensitivity was 93.7%, specificity was 90.6%, and validity was 92.3%. The instrument predicted, within 1%, the actual vote regarding a local clean indoor air ordinance. Stability reliability was .84 and .77 respectively for the 2 factors. The SWTCI can help policy makers predict whether communities are supportive of clean indoor air ordinances.
