Proposed Project
National Youth Tobacco Survey (OMB No.: 0920-0621)--Reinstatement
with Change--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to reinstate OMB clearance of the
National Youth Tobacco Survey, a national school-based study to be
conducted in 2006. NCCDPHP wants to continue a biennial survey among
middle and senior high school students attending regular public,
private, and Catholic schools in grades 6-12. This survey was
previously funded by the American Legacy Foundation in 1999, 2000, and
2002. The survey was funded by CDC in 2004. The survey covers the
following tobacco-related topics: the prevalence of use of cigarettes,
smokeless tobacco, cigars, pipe, bidis, and kreteks; knowledge and
attitudes; media and advertising; minors' access and enforcement;
school curriculum; environmental tobacco smoke exposure; and cessation.
Tobacco use, a major preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in
the U.S., is one of the 28 focus areas in Healthy People 2010. Within
the Healthy People 2010 focus area of tobacco use, the National Youth
Tobacco Survey provides data relevant to 6 health objectives. The
survey also provides data to monitor one of the 10 leading health
indicators for Healthy People 2010 that addresses tobacco use. In
addition, the National Youth Tobacco Survey can identify racial and
ethnic disparities in tobacco-related topics listed above.
The National Youth Tobacco Survey is the most comprehensive source
of nationally representative data regarding high school students and
tobacco. Moreover, the National Youth Tobacco Survey is the only source
of such national data for middle school students (grades 6-8). The data
have significant implications for policy and program development for
school health programs nationwide. There is no other cost to
respondents other than their time.
