Data Collection

The Youth Tobacco Survey collects data from students in grades 6 through 12 every two years. Schools are randomly selected to participate in the survey. All students in randomly selected classrooms of the participating schools are eligible to take the survey. The self-administered questionnaire is anonymous. Data are weighted to adjust for any unequal probabilities of selection, nonresponse, and disproportionate selection of different demographic groups.

The results from the survey helps develop and implement strategies to prevent Louisiana youth from using tobacco products and helping current users successfully quit.
