Proposed Project
2004 American Indian Adult Tobacco Survey Pilot Test--New--National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The purpose of this project is to test and pilot a culturally
appropriate Adult Tobacco Survey questionnaire for American Indians and
Alaska Natives. This questionnaire will expand data and existing
knowledge of tobacco use among American Indians and Alaska Natives in
order to benefit tobacco use and prevention surveillance at a tribal,
state, and/or regional level. The questions will help to narrow
existing gaps in knowledge of tobacco use among different tribes and
inform development of tribal-specific interventions.
[[Page 17157]]
Current smoking prevalence among American Indians and Alaska
Natives (36.0 percent) is highest compared to all other racial/ethnic
groups (2000 NHIS). While national and regional data exist for American
Indians and Alaska Natives, tribal level data is extremely limited.
Currently, there are over 500 sovereign tribal nations in the U.S. In
order to better understand tobacco use among American Indians and
Alaska Natives, CDC is conducting a survey project that includes:
(1) Developing a culturally appropriate Adult Tobacco Survey
questionnaire for tribes.
(2) Piloting the final instrument in approximately 24 tribes
represented by six Tribal Support Centers (TSCs).
In an effort to better understand the effects of smoking in
American Indian and Alaska Native populations, the Support Centers for
Tobacco Programs (SCTP) will utilize a culturally appropriate
questionnaire for pilot implementation in six different tribal centers.
The centers are located in Alaska, California, Oklahoma, Michigan,
along with two tribal centers located in the upper Midwest and upper
Northwest. In total, the SCTPs will collect 2,691 completed surveys
(the number varying by Center respective to the size of each tribe, 18
years of age and older), which will be representative of distinct
tribal communities conducting the survey. The SCTP will be responsible
for obtaining the completed surveys. Trained individuals from each of
the respective communities and/or support centers will conduct
interviews. Most interviews will be conducted face-to-face, with a
small proportion conducted by telephone. The total annualized burden is
estimated to be 1,794 hours.
