Global Tobacco Surveillance System Youth Tobacco Survey
The Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) is a school-based survey that collects data on students aged 13–15 years using a standardized methodology for constructing the sample frame, selecting schools and classes, and processing data. The GYTS surveillance system is intended to enhance the capacity of countries to design, implement, and evaluate tobacco control and prevention programs.

Description
In 1998, the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) began the development of the Global Tobacco Surveillance System (GTSS) with the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS). It is a school-based survey that is targeted towards youth aged 13-15 years old. Funding for the GYTS has been provided by the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA), National Cancer Institute (NCI), United Nations Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF), and the World Health Organization (WHO) — Tobacco Free Initiative (TFI).
The data source for this dataset is GYTS which is composed of 56 “core” questions designed to gather data on the following seven domains. The questionnaire also allows countries to insert their own country-specific questions.
1. Knowledge and attitudes of young people towards cigarette smoking
2. Prevalence of cigarette smoking and other tobacco use among young people
3. Role of the media and advertising in young people’s use of cigarettes
4. Access to cigarettes
5. Tobacco-related school curriculum
6. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)
7. Cessation of cigarette smoking
The findings of the survey are depicted in percentages. The common regional themes include:
– Small gap in how much girls and boys use tobacco, and in the majority of countries, even more girls than boys use tobacco
– More girls than boys that never smoked were more likely to start within the next year
– Large number of youth that bought cigarettes in a store were not refused purchase because of age
– High percentage of youth exposed to tobacco smoke in public places and at home
– Large support among youth for banning smoking in public places
– Slightly more than half of students reported learning about the harmful effects of smoking in school
– Percentage of youth 13-15 years of age who tried their first cigarette before age 10
