Data

The Youth Tobacco Survey (YTS) was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide states with the data needed to design, implement, and evaluate comprehensive tobacco control programs that work to prevent young people from beginning tobacco use and help those who have already started using tobacco to quit.

Youth Risk Behavior Survey System
The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) was designed in 1990 to determine the prevalence of health risk behaviors such as tobacco use, unhealthy dietary behaviors, inadequate physical activity, alcohol and drug use, sexual behaviors contributing to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, and behaviors contributing to unintended injuries and violence.

Social Climate Survey
Although comprehensive tobacco control programs have moved toward logic models that incorporate political and social intermediate objectives such as smoke-free worksites, tobacco control planning and evaluation has been hampered by the lack of timely, comprehensive data about the attitudes and practices of U.S. adults. The Social Climate Survey of Tobacco Control (SCS-TC) was created to fill this void. View the survey and reports.
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
