The National Youth Tobacco Survey
(NYTS) is a self-administered, annual, cross-sectional survey of
U.S. students enrolled in 6th through 12th grades who attend public
and private schools. It is conducted in the spring semester of each
school year (typically February-May). The NYTS collects information
on student use of various tobacco products, knowledge of and
attitudes toward tobacco, exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke and
secondhand e-cigarette aerosol, exposure to pro- and anti-tobacco
influences, and other tobacco-related measures. This revision
includes an increase to the number of school districts and schools
contacted to adjust further for nonresponse in meeting target
sample size and an increase in the number of respondents for
instrument testing to allow more cognitive testing than the
previously approved collection.
