Myanmar as a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control had adopted the Control of Smoking and Consumption of Tobacco Products Law in 2006 which came into effect in May, 2007. Ministry of Health has been implementing tobacco control activities in collaboration with related ministries. Myanmar conducted Global Youth Tobacco Surveys (GYTS) in 2001, 2004 and 2007.
The 2007 Myanmar Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) is a school based survey that uses a two stage cluster sample design to produce representative samples of students in grades associated with ages 13-15. The sampling frame includes all schools containing any of the identified grades. At the first stage, the probability of schools being selected is proportional to the number of students enrolled in the specified grades. At the second stage, classes within the selected schools are randomly selected. All students in selected classes attending school the day of the survey is administered are eligible to participate. Student participation is voluntary and anonymous using self-administered data collection procedures. The GYTS sample design produces representative estimates for Myanmar. GYTS data in the paper are limited to students aged 13-15 years old.

For the 2007 Myanmar GYTS, the same sampling procedure as in 2001 was followed. In 2007, altogether 50 schools were selected. At the first step, grades that capture most of 13-15 years old were identified as 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th graders. In the Myanmar Basic Education System, there are basic education primary schools, basic education middle schools and basic education high schools. Basic middle schools have grades 0 to 8, and basic high schools have either grade 0 to 10 or 5 to 10. A detailed list of all schools in the whole country with 7 to 10 grades was collected from the State and Divisional Education Departments. Name of schools, enrollment of 7, 8, 9 and 10 students and their addresses were compiled and entered into Spreadsheets.
A total of (20,184) schools was eligible for the study. All schools containing seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades that contained 40 or more students were included in the sampling frame. The list of the schools was sent to CDC, Office on Smoking and Health. A two-stage cluster sample design was used to produce representative sample of students in eight, ninth and tenth grades for all of Myanmar. The first-stage sampling frame consisted of all schools containing seventh, eight, ninth and tenth grades. A total of 50 schools were chosen proportional to enrollment size. The second sampling stage consisted of systematic equal probability sampling (with a random start) of classes from each school that participated in the survey. All classes in the selected schools were included in the sampling frame. All students in selected classes were eligible for participation.
A total of 3,118 students completed the 2007 GYTS. The school response rate was 100%, while the student response rate was 95.23%, and the overall response rate (i.e., the school rate multiplied by the student rate) was 95.23%.
The Myanmar GYTS questionnaires were self-administered in classrooms. School, class, and student anonymity was maintained throughout the GYTS process. The Myanmar country-specific questionnaires included data on prevalence of cigarette smoking, and use of other tobacco products both smoking and smokeless (eg. cheroots, cigars, pipes, chewing betel with tobacco, chewing raw tobacco etc)), perceptions and attitudes about tobacco, access to and availability of tobacco products, exposure to secondhand smoke, school curricula and anti-tobacco media messages, media and advertising, and smoking cessation. The final questionnaire was translated into local language Myanmar for administration.

SUDAAN, a software package for statistical analysis correlated data, was used to compute standard errors of the estimates and produced 95% confidence intervals which are shown as lower and upper bounds. Difference in proportions were considered statistically significant at the p<0.05 level.
