  • Description:
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) developed this publication to assist state and territorial commercial tobacco control programs evaluate efforts to reduce tobacco-related health disparities. The primary audiences for this publication consist of planners, managers, and evaluators of tobacco control programs.

    This publication is the fourth in a series of key outcome indicator guides released by OSH and the first to specifically focus on tobacco-related disparities. This guide can be used in combination with outcome indicators from the three other guides: Preventing Initiation of Tobacco Use: Outcome Indicators for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs—2014, Promoting Quitting Among Adults and Young People: Outcome Indicators for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs—2015, and Eliminating Exposure to Secondhand Smoke: Outcome Indicators for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs–2017.

    Many indicators in the present guide align closely with those in previously published guides with the addition of information specific to tobacco-related disparities. This indicator guide supports evaluation of the National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP), which aims to reduce tobacco-related disease, disability, and death. The NTCP seeks to achieve these goals by working in four areas:

    1. Preventing initiation among youth and young adults.

    2. Eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke.

    3. Promoting quitting among adults and youth.

    4. Identifying and eliminating tobacco-related disparities.

    A logic model with corresponding indicators for Goal Area 4 of the NTCP (Identifying and Eliminating Tobacco-Related Disparities) is included in the present guide, which contains indepth information on indicators that can be used to measure progress toward various outcomes. Consumer Reports®–type ratings are included to allow for tailored selection of indicators by state and territorial tobacco control programs. Moreover, this guidance document highlights how to use indicators to integrate program and evaluation planning.

    This guide supports and complements broader monitoring and evaluation efforts to identify and eliminate tobacco-related disparities. It supports application of CDC’s Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health Practice4 and may be used in coordination with CDC’s workbook, Developing an Effective Evaluation Plan: Setting the Course for Effective Program Evaluation, 5 and other OSH surveillance and evaluation resources. Tobacco prevention and control program managers and evaluators can use the indicators in this document to focus their evaluations, inform the selection of indicators, link these to intended outcomes, and assist in gathering credible evidence.
