Proposed Project
National Youth Tobacco Surveys (NYTS) 2012-2014--Revision (Exp
Date: 1/31/2012)--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
periodically collected information about tobacco use among adolescents
since 2004 (National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) 2004, 2006, 2009,
2011, OMB No. 0920-0621, exp. 12/31/2011). At present, the NYTS is the
most comprehensive source of nationally representative tobacco data
among students in grades 9-12, and the only source of such data for
students in grades 6-8. The NYTS has provided national estimates of
tobacco use behaviors, information about exposure to pro- and anti-
tobacco influences, and information about racial and ethnic disparities
in tobacco-related topics. Information collected through the NYTS is
used to identify trends over time, to inform the development of tobacco
cessation programs for youth, and to evaluate the effectiveness of
existing interventions and programs.
CDC is requesting OMB approval to conduct additional cycles of the
NYTS in the spring of 2012, 2013, and 2014. The survey will be
conducted among nationally representative samples of students attending
public and private schools in grades 6-12, and will be administered to
students as an optically scannable, eight-page booklet of multiple-
choice questions. Information supporting the NYTS also will be
collected from state-, district-, and school-level administrators and
teachers. During the 2012-2014 timeframe, a number of changes will be
incorporated that reflect CDC's ongoing collaboration with FDA and the
need to measure progress toward meeting strategic goals established by
the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Information
collection will occur annually and will include a number of new
questions, as well as increased representation of minority youth.
Results of the NYTS will continue to be used for public health
program planning and evaluation. Information collected through the NYTS
is also expected to provide multiple measures and data for monitoring
progress on six of the 20 tobacco-related objectives for Healthy People
2020.
OMB approval is requested for three years. The estimated average
burden per response is 45 minutes, and the total estimated annualized
burden hours are 18,862. There are no costs to respondents other than
their time.
