Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS): Overview and Purpose

The Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) is a collaborative effort by the WHO and CDC to collect data on youth tobacco use worldwide. Launched in 1999, GYTS conducts school-based surveys in over 185 countries to monitor smoking and smokeless tobacco use among students aged 13-15. The survey aims to track key tobacco control indicators and produce cross-sectional estimates for each country. GYTS plays a critical role in helping countries develop, implement, and evaluate tobacco control interventions. The data collected assists in establishing evidence of tobacco's impact on youth and monitoring progress in tobacco control efforts.
