Overview Definition of surveillance Tobacco control surveillance systems CDC Global tobacco surveillance systems (GTSS) framework and components Accessing and using GTSS data MPOWER examples Case studies and examples
Surveillance Ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, & interpretation of data essential to planning, implementation, & evaluation of public health practice, integrated with timely dissemination to those responsible for prevention & control. - US CDC Timely, useful evidence to empower public & policy makers to lead & manage effectively. That’s where public health begins.
WHO FCTC Monitoring Protocol 20.2 “…integrate tobacco surveillance programs into national, regional, and global health surveillance programs so that data are comparable and can be analyzed at the regional and international levels, as appropriate.”
Purpose of a Tobacco-Related Surveillance System To provide timely information from populations on: Prevalence of use of tobacco-related products Factors that influence their use Incidence, prevalence, and mortality from tobacco-attributable diseases Impact of tobacco control programs and policies on relevant outcomes
Uses of Tobacco Surveillance Data Understand the natural history and trends of tobacco use and consequences of use Identify emerging issues and research needs (e.g. tobacco harm reduction, SHS exposure) Evaluate tobacco use prevention and control programs, policies, and legislation

GYTS: Global Youth Tobacco Survey Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) Global standard for systematically monitoring youth tobacco use & key tobacco control indicators (WHO FCTC & MPOWER).
GYTS Methodology School-based survey of students aged 13-15 Anonymous and confidential self-administered data collection Core questionnaire with optional questions Option for countries to add additional questions Use of answer sheets that can be optically scanned
GYTS in Indonesia 2006, 2009, in the field now Dataset available at: http://nccd.cdc.gov/GTSSData/Default/SelectSurveySite.aspx. (select Indonesia) Highlights: 22.5% of students use tobacco 2/3 of students live in homes where others smoke 8/10 of students who smoke want to quit
GATS: Global Adult Tobacco Survey Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) Household-based survey of adults that aims to collect data on adult tobacco use and key tobacco control measures by using a standard global protocol. Methodology Nationally representative household survey of persons aged 15 years and older Cross sectional estimates by gender and urban/rural Core questionnaire with optional questions Options for countries to add additional questions Face-to-face personal interview survey Electronic data collection using handheld devices

Using Data to Inform and Evaluate Tobacco Control Policies Examples from the field…
International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project (ITC) The ITC Project has established a research platform to guide strong, evidence-based implementation of FCTC policies to: Evaluate FCTC policies at the level of the individual smoker Identify the determinants of effective tobacco control policies Disseminate research findings to the global tobacco control community, including researchers, policy makers, and advocates. The International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project (the ITC Project) is the first-ever international cohort study of tobacco use. Its overall objective is to measure the psychosocial and behavioral impact of key national level policies of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). The ITC Project is a collaborative effort with international health organizations and policymakers in more than 20 countries so far, inhabited by more than 50% of the world's population, 60% of the world's smokers, and 70% of the world's tobacco users. In each country, the ITC Project is conducting prospective cohort surveys to assess the impact and identify the determinants of effective tobacco control policies in each of the following areas: Health warning labels and package descriptors Smoke-free legislation Pricing and taxation of tobacco products Communication and education Cessation Tobacco advertising and promotion Source: http://www.itcproject.org/about

Global Adult Tobacco Survey Data as a Tool to Monitor the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) Implementation: The Brazilian Case The Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) was conducted in Brazil to provide data on tobacco use in order to monitor the WHO FCTC implementation in the country. Data in this report can be used as baseline for evaluation of new tobacco control approaches in Brazil, vis-à-vis WHO FCTC demand reduction measures.

Using Data to Inform and Evaluate Tobacco Control Policies Linking Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) data to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control: the case for Indonesia. Aditama TY1, Pradono J, Rahman K, Warren CW, Jones NR, Asma S, Lee J. RESULTS: This report shows that more than 1 in 10 students (12.6%) currently smoked cigarettes, with the prevalence among boys (24.5%) significantly higher than among girls (2.3%). Of the students who currently smoked, more than 7 in 10 (75.9%) reported that they desired to stop smoking now…. CONCLUSIONS: Tobacco control in Indonesia will likely not move forward until the government evaluates and strengthens existing laws, considers passing new strong laws, and develops protocols for enforcing all laws… Available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18585772
