Description:In 1998, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and partners initiated the Global Tobacco Surveillance System (GTSS) to assist countries in establishing tobacco control surveillance and monitoring programs. GTSS includes collection of data through three school-based surveys: the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), the Global School Personnel Survey (GSPS), and the Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS), and one household survey: the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS). GTSS provides a consistent framework for surveillance including standard sampling procedures, core questionnaire items, training in field procedures, data analysis, and consistent reporting across all participating countries. GTSS also enhances the role of government and the nongovernmental sector in surveillance, monitoring of tobacco use and key tobacco control indicators, and policy and program interventions. The synergy between countries passing tobacco control laws, regulations or decrees, ratifying and complying with the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and conducting GTSS surveys offers opportunities to develop, implement, and evaluate comprehensive tobacco control policies.
GTSS reflects WHO’s, CDC’s and partners’ ongoing efforts to establish tobacco control surveillance and monitoring programs to track trends over time in tobacco-related knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and environmental influences.
