Proposed Project

    2006 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 39.9 million in the year 2003 
to 102.6 million in the year 2050, almost 3 times the current 
population. The large expected growth in the Hispanic/Latino 
population, especially in non-traditional states, will have important 
implications for tobacco control activities in the years to come.
    The Office of Smoking and Health (OSH) is conducting a survey 
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 annually 
with approximately 750 participants, for a total of 2,250 survey 
participants. In order to select survey respondents, screeners will be 
administered to a larger number of household respondents. The estimated 
number of screener respondents depends on whether the screener is done 
over the telephone (New York and Florida) or in person (Texas). The 
screener and the survey will be conducted in both English and Spanish.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The 
total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,833.
