Proposed Project

    2005 Hispanic/Latino Adult Tobacco Survey (ATS)--New--National 
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of this project is to conduct a culturally appropriate 
Adult Tobacco Survey questionnaire with Hispanic/Latino persons. The 
survey results will expand data and existing knowledge of tobacco use 
among Hispanics/Latinos in order to benefit tobacco use surveillance 
and prevention programming at the local, state, and regional levels. 
The questions will help to narrow existing gaps in knowledge concerning 
tobacco use in the Hispanic/Latino population and inform development of 
Hispanic/Latino-specific interventions.
    The Hispanic/Latino population is fast growing in the United 
States. It is expected that the number of Hispanic/Latino persons 
residing in the U.S. will increase from 35.3 million in the year 2000 
to 98.2 million in the year 2050, almost 3 times the current 
population. The large expected growth in the Hispanic/Latino 
population, especially in states that are not traditionally Hispanic/
Latino, will have important implications for tobacco control activities 
in the years to come.
    CDC is proposing a project that includes administering the Adult 
Tobacco Survey in three locations that have high concentrations of 
Hispanic/Latino persons, each location with a distinct Hispanic/Latino 
subpopulation. The locations are New York City (New York), Miami 
(Florida), and El Paso (Texas). Within each location, the survey will 
be conducted with approximately 1,500 participants, for a total of 
4,500 participants. The survey will be conducted in both English and 
Spanish. There is no cost to respondents except for their time.
