2007 Youth Tobacco Survey (Tobacco Use Statistics, Regional Data)

The 2007 North Carolina Youth Tobacco Survey (NC YTS) provided a critical source of public health data for understanding the scope of the tobacco problem and measuring progress toward overall goals among youth. The 2007 NC YTS was a comprehensive statewide representative sample of more than 7,400 middle and high school students.

Every other year a core set of CDC tobacco-related questions are asked. In addition, states add questions related to local program factors. In 2007, together with the Health and Wellness Trust Fund, TPCB added questions regarding media, community participation and secondhand smoking attitudes. The sampling scheme is now intended to generate significant numbers for regional data (mountains, piedmont and coast). Caution should be used in interpreting results when only a small number of respondents have answered the question.
