    Series Information

    In December 1998, TFI convened a meeting in Geneva with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the World Bank and representatives from countries in each of the six WHO regions to discuss the need for standardized mechanisms to collect youth tobacco use information on a global basis. The outcome of this meeting was the development by WHO and CDC of a Global Tobacco Surveillance System, which uses the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) as its data collection mechanism.
    Abstract

    The GYTS is a school-based survey designed to enhance the capacity of countries to monitor tobacco use among youth and to guide the implementation and evaluation of tobacco prevention and control programmes. The GYTS uses a standard methodology for constructing the sampling frame, selecting schools and classes, preparing questionnaires, following consistent field procedures, and using consistent data management procedures for data processing and analysis. The information generated from the GYTS can be used to stimulate the development of tobacco control programmes and can serve as a means to assess progress in meeting programme goals. In addition, GYTS data can be used to monitor seven Articles in the WHO FCTC.

    Prevalence of cigarette smoking and other tobacco use among young people
    Role of the media and advertising in young people’s use of cigarettes
    Access to cigarettes

    Data Collection Notes

    Agreement for national data collection
    Before collecting data, all Research Coordinators (RCs) must participate in a training workshop, organized by the WHO Regional Office (RO) in collaboration with other partners, to ensure a common methodology and unified procedures. This training assures continuity across the regions; consistency in sample design, selection procedures, and questionnaire development (ensuring the core remains intact); and uniformity in field procedures for data collection.

    Organization of the Training Workshop

    1. The ROs and CDC jointly set a date and name a place for the training workshop.
    2. The ROs in cooperation with CDC, and associate partners when applicable, arrange the logistics and timing for the regional GYTS training workshops.
    3. The ROs and CDC prepare all materials for the training; send school enrollment files and data needs to countries; and ask each country to prepare a short presentation for the workshop, describing the country's educational system and its efforts to control tobacco use among youth.
    4. The ROs in collaboration with CDC, and associate partners when applicable, will conduct the GYTS training workshop.
    5. CDC and ROs, and associate partners when applicable, will work with each country to develop the sample frame and design. CDC in collaboration with ROs, and associate partners when applicable, works with countries on all issues concerning the sample design and sample selection.

    Collection of National Data
    At the end of the training workshop, the RCs for each participating survey site or country will have a clear understanding of all issues concerning GYTS implementation. The national government ensures that survey data collection is completed within six months after the training workshop. To ensure successful collection of national data, the following steps are taken:

    1. The RO and, when applicable, associate partners follow up with the countries on all budget issues.
    2. The RO, CDC and, when applicable, associate partners work with the countries to review their questionnaire.
    3. CDC and the RO collaborate with the countries on all issues pertaining to sample selection.
    4. CDC provides the countries and survey sites with survey supplies (e.g. answer sheets and header sheets).
    5. CDC provides ongoing technical assistance to the ROs and RCs during the implementation phase.
