While it is well established that exposure to secondhand smoke can lead to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and that smoking ban legislation is associated with a reduction in the incidence of AMI in affected communities, the effect of Oregon’s legislation on AMI has not been fully studied. This thesis research project used a generalized linear mixed model to assess the impact of the 2009 legislation on hospital admissions for AMI. 000002899 540__ $$fCC BY 000002899 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002899 650__ $$aSmoking$$026083 000002899 650__ $$aMyocardial Infarction$$022601 000002899 650__ $$aOutcome Assessment, Health Care$$029660 000002899 650__ $$aTobacco Smoking$$012216 000002899 650__ $$aPublic Health$$024885 000002899 650__ $$aSmoke-Free Policy$$039977 000002899 650__ $$aTobacco Smoke Pollution$$027132 000002899 650__ $$aModels, Statistical$$028242 000002899 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000002899 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002899 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000002899 7001_ $$aTozier de la Poterie, Adrienne$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002899 7201_ $$aAustin, Donald$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000002899 8564_ $$9cf4adee9-ab2f-4a14-bee5-295f45c6f7b4$$s550975$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2899/files/3669_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2265d05ec29538cecda528e2f46dfbca1$$31 000002899 905__ $$a/rest/prod/31/97/xm/35/3197xm35j 000002899 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2899$$pstudent-work 000002899 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
