Global Tobacco Surveillance System (GTSS)
The World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) began development of the Global Tobacco Surveillance System (GTSS) in 1999. GTSS includes both school-based and household-based surveys. School-based surveys include:
- Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS)
- Global School Personnel Survey (GSPS)
- Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS)
Household-based surveys include:
The purpose of the GTSS is to enhance countries' capacity to monitor tobacco use, guide national tobacco prevention, and control programs, and facilitate comparison of tobacco-related data at the national, regional, and global levels.
