This fact sheet summarizes data from the 2008 GYTS conducted in Georgia for students aged 13-15. The survey focused on tobacco use prevalence and determinants using school-based sampling.

Methodology and Sample

A two-stage cluster sample design was employed: schools selected based on enrollment size, then classes randomly chosen, with all eligible students participating.
Total students surveyed: 891; overall response rate was 81.7%.
Data points included prevalence rates, attitudes on smoking, and determinants like access, family influence, and school-based interventions.
