Preface

Surveillance of tobacco use and evaluation of tobacco control programs are two keys to the success in reducing the prevalence of smoking since the U.S. Surgeon General first publicized the adverse consequences of tobacco use in a 1964 report.

In many areas of health promotion and disease prevention, the behavior of populations has been difficult to track. However, trends in tobacco use have been known since the beginning of the 20th century. Tobacco use rose inexorably from 1900 to 1965, declining only during the early years of the great depression and other economic downturns. These declines gave the first clue that pricing and taxing could significantly affect tobacco use. But price is not the only factor that affects tobacco use. The nonsmokers’ rights movement and the Surgeon General’s Report on the health hazards associated with secondhand tobacco smoke—as well as a doubling in the federal cigarette tax—all contributed to a decline in tobacco use that began in the mid-1970s.

In recent years, monitoring and evaluation of tobacco control activities in California, Massachusetts, and Oregon have shown that aggressive and comprehensive tobacco control programs are effective in reducing cigarette smoking. For example, California was the first state to implement a comprehensive tobacco control program and is now seeing changes in long-term health outcomes, notably a 4.8% decline in lung cancer rates among men and women from 1988 to 1997, while rates in other regions increased by 13.2%. In Oregon, the smoking prevalence among 8th graders declined for the first time in recent history (from 21% in 1998 to 15% in 1999) after the state implemented a comprehensive tobacco control program that included hard-hitting media messages, innovative cessation programs, and widespread efforts to promote smoke-free workplaces. Massachusetts established a comprehensive tobacco control program in 1993 and saw a 30% decline in per capita cigarette purchases from 1992 to 1998. These and other findings led to the development of CDC’s Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs, which stipulates

that surveillance and evaluation, along with eight other elements are necessary to ensure that tobacco control programs achieve their goals.

Comprehensive tobacco use prevention and control programs use the research data and strategies described in CDC’s Best Practices, the 2000 Surgeon General’s Report Reducing Tobacco Use, and the Task Force on Community Preventive Services’ tobacco-related recommendations. Using these three publications in conjunction with data from the sources listed in this publication will create a strong foundation for generating action at the state level and achieving the Healthy People 2010 tobacco objectives within the next decade.

About this Book

Surveillance and Evaluation Data Resources is an at-a-glance compilation of sources of data useful for tobacco control programs that are conducting surveillance or evaluation. Our objective is to provide basic information on each data source to assist state tobacco control programs identify data that are relevant to planning, monitoring, and evaluation. The data sources listed here provide a wide variety of tobacco-related information. For example, the NTCP Chronicle and local program monitoring have useful data on programmatic activities; restaurant and work-site surveys, key informant surveys, and third-party payer surveys have data on environmental policies and indicators; the Youth Tobacco Survey, Adult Tobacco Survey, and media evaluation surveys have data on individual knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors; and the cancer registries and hospital discharge records have data on health outcomes.

Data sources checked as “used frequently and comparable across states” are often used to help states develop tobacco program objectives. Data from these sources can be used to compare program impact and outcomes with those of other states and the nation as a whole.

The data sources are organized under major categories: national and state surveys and tools, registries and vital statistics, and topic-specific tools. The columns in each table provide the following information:

Column 1: Data Source ■ Name of the data source.

■ General description of the data source.

Column 2: Tobacco-Related Indicators ■ Topics on which information is available. For example,

environmental tobacco smoke, tobacco-related policies, brand preferences, type of tobacco product (cigarette, cigar, pipe, smokeless tobacco, kretek, or bidi).

3

Page 11: Surveillance and Evaluation Data Resources · the federal cigarette tax—all contributed to a decline in tobacco use that began in the mid-1970s. In recent years, monitoring and

Surveillance and Evaluation Data Resources

■ The range in the number of tobacco-related questions included in the survey instrument, or—if applicable— within the core instrument, modules, or supplements.

Column 3: Sampling Frame ■ The level of information available: national, state, community,

or local.

■ Details on target or study population (e.g., adults, pregnant women) or factors that were studied (e.g., media campaigns, number of telephone calls, hospital records).

Column 4: Methodology (a); Frequency (b); Years Completed (c) ■ (a) Study design and data collection mode (e.g., random

sample, telephone survey; convenience sample, unannounced interviews).

■ (b) How often surveys are conducted (e.g., annually, periodically).

■ (c) The years when data were collected.

Column 5: Comments ■ Additional useful information.

Column 6: Contact ■ Phone number or Internet address of the organization

where you can obtain more information.

Not all of the data sources are available in every state. Consequently, some states may consider investing funds to develop systems to address gaps in data. New data collection systems should be directly relevant to state programmatic goals, objectives, and activities. However, prior to choosing data sources or investing resources to develop new data systems, programs should consider some of the following issues: timeliness, frequency, comparability, credibility, and available resources. For more information on these considerations, please see CDC’s 2001 publication An Introduction to Evaluation: Planning, Implementation and Use, or contact the CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health’s State Surveillance and Evaluation Team (telephone: 770-488-5703).
