Global Tobacco Surveillance System GTSS

**Overview**
This data package includes information on demographics, prevalence of cigarette smoking, tobacco use, exposure to second-hand smoke, smoking cessation and training received regarding patient counselling on smoking cessation techniques. It also comprises of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) - a school-based survey that collects data on students aged 13–15 years and is intended to enhance the capacity of countries to design, implement, and evaluate tobacco control and prevention programs.

**Description**
Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) was first developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) to collect information on health profession students (e.g. medical, nursing, dental and pharmacy) cross-nationally using a consistent methodology. It uses a common methodology and core questionnaire to systematically monitor health professions students' tobacco use and track trends over time in tobacco-related knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and environmental influences. This research is also about training the health professionals that how different methods can lead to reduce the tobacco use among people and their usefulness in the long run.

The Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) uses a standardized methodology for constructing the sample frame, selecting schools and classes, and processing data. Funding for the GYTS has been provided by the CPHA, National Cancer Institute (NCI), United Nations Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF), and the WHO — Tobacco Free Initiative (TFI). This survey is composed of 56 "core" questions designed to gather data on the following seven domains. The questionnaire also allows countries to insert their own country-specific questions: i). Knowledge and attitudes of young people towards cigarette smoking, ii). Prevalence of cigarette smoking and other tobacco use among young people, iii). Role of the media and advertising in young people’s use of cigarettes, iv). Access to cigarettes, v). Tobacco-related school curriculum, vi). Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)vii). Cessation of cigarette smoking.

**Benefits**
- useful for doctors, medical health planners, people who use tobacco, psychological and behavioral therapists.
- global tobacco surveillance system database is available on centers for disease control and prevention website in raw form, whereas a jsl customer gets it in clean and normalized form ready to use in one place and create his own custom reports.
- easy to comprehend for the customers who are unfamiliar with the medical terminologies as all abbreviated terms are replaced with full form, the centers for disease control and prevention original datasets which are full of abbreviations.
