Description

The California Tobacco Control Program (CTCP) coordinates statewide tobacco control efforts and funds the California Student Tobacco Survey (CSTS). This data table shows the current smoking prevalence from 2001 to 2012 for Californian high school youth and by gender based on the CSTS. Current cigarette smoking was defined as having smoked on one or more days during the past 30 days prior to the survey. (In statistics, a confidence interval is a measure of the reliability of an estimate. It is a type of interval estimate of a population parameter.) A biennial survey, the CSTS is a large-scale, in-school student survey administered to middle (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12) students. Topics of the survey include tobacco-use behavior, beliefs about the health consequences of using tobacco products from smokeless cigarettes to kreteks (clove/tobacco cigarettes), exposure to tobacco education in schools, and exposure to tobacco advertising. The survey provides coverage of topics such as smoking behaviors, attitudes, knowledge, and awareness about tobacco and tobacco use prevention.
