Background and Brief Description Tobacco use is a major preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. A limited number of health risk behaviors, including tobacco use, account for the overwhelming majority of immediate and long-term sources of morbidity and mortality. Because many health risk behaviors are established during adolescence, there is a critical need for public health programs directed towards youth, and for information to support these programs. Since 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has periodically collected information about tobacco use among adolescents (National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, OMB no. 0920–0621, exp. 12/31/2011). This surveillance activity builds on previous surveys funded by the American Legacy Foundation in 1999, 2000, and 2002. At present, the NYTS is the most comprehensive source of nationally representative tobacco data among students in grades 9–12, moreover, the NYTS is the only source of such data for students in grades 6–8.

CDC plans to request OMB approval to conduct additional cycles of the NYTS in 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. The survey will examine the following topics: use of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, cigars, pipes, bidis, and kreteks, as well as newer tobacco products (such as snus, electronic cigarette, and dissolvable tobacco products); knowledge and attitudes; media and advertising; access to tobacco products and enforcement of restrictions on access; school curriculum; E:\FR\FM\15JNN1.SGM 15JNN1 34998 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2011 / Notices environmental tobacco smoke exposure; and cessation.

Teams of trainers in each of five states are leading training sessions for 50 participants. The follow-up evaluation will examine implementation of the training curriculum in each of the states. All participants in the local trainings will be asked to complete a brief survey, which will be conducted online.

Proposed Project

National Youth Tobacco Surveys (NYTS) 2012-2014--Revision--National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

Tobacco use is a major preventable cause of morbidity and mortality
in the U.S. A limited number of health risk behaviors, including
tobacco use, account for the overwhelming majority of immediate and
long-term sources of morbidity and mortality. Because many health risk
behaviors are established during adolescence, there is a critical need
for public health programs directed towards youth, and for information
to support these programs.
Since 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has periodically collected information about tobacco use among
adolescents (National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) 2004, 2006, 2009,
2011, OMB no. 0920-0621, exp. 12/31/2011). This surveillance activity
builds on previous surveys funded by the American Legacy Foundation in
1999, 2000, and 2002.
At present, the NYTS is the most comprehensive source of nationally
representative tobacco data among students in grades 9-12, moreover,
the NYTS is 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 plans to request OMB approval to conduct additional cycles of
the NYTS in 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.
The survey will examine the following topics: use of cigarettes,
smokeless tobacco, cigars, pipes, bidis, and kreteks, as well as newer
tobacco products (such as snus, electronic cigarette, and dissolvable
tobacco products); knowledge and attitudes; media and advertising;
access to tobacco products and enforcement of restrictions on access;
school curriculum;

environmental tobacco smoke exposure; and cessation.
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 will be requested for three years. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
