Tobacco surveys

Data on smoking prevalence and patterns of tobacco use among adults and youth that are both recent and representative of the national population are key to successful guidance of tobacco control programmes.

Title of most recent survey: The survey name is the name of the survey as presented to respondents.  It is not always the same as the title of reports from the survey. Some surveys are repeated at intervals, therefore the year the survey was conducted is reported under a different indicator and not as part of the survey name.

• A survey of adults means a population survey in which the respondents are randomly selected individuals living in the areas included in the sample of the survey.  Institution-based surveys are not considered representative of a population and are not included under this indicator.  Some surveys are repeated at intervals, therefore the year the survey was conducted is reported under a different indicator and not as part of the survey name.
• A survey of youth means a school-based survey in which the respondents are randomly selected individuals attending school on the day of the survey.  Population-based surveys surveying persons of young age are not included under this indicator

Year of most recent survey:  T  If the fieldwork began in one year and finished in another, the year is presented as startyear - endyear.  The year of survey is not necessarily the same as the year of publication of the survey results or of the official report. The year shown in the field “YEAR” is the WHO reporting year and may differ.

Representativeness of survey: The survey is representative of the country's population aged in the range covered by the survey.

Age range - The age range of respondents sampled in the survey, given in years. To compare the results of different surveys, it is necessary to know the age range of respondents in each survey.
