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.
