Background: The Mongolia-ROC Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) was conducted in 2007 among students aged 13-15 (grades 5-10) using a two-stage cluster sampling design. A total of 822 students participated, with a school response rate of 100%, class response rate of 54.0%, student response rate of 97.4%, and overall response rate of 52.6%.

Key Findings:

• Tobacco Use Prevalence: 16.9% of students reported ever smoking cigarettes, with higher rates among boys (27.4%) compared to girls (8.6%). Currently, 19.8% use any tobacco product, including 4.2% who smoke cigarettes and 17.1% who use other tobacco products.
• Gender Differences: Smoking rates are significantly higher among boys.
• Secondhand Smoke (SHS) Exposure: Over half (54.9%) are exposed to SHS at home or in public places, with 55.5% having one or more parents who smoke and 52.9% exposed in non-home settings.
• Attitudes and Knowledge: Three-quarters (75.3%) support banning smoking in public places, 88.5% believe SHS is harmful, and 69.5% recall anti-smoking media messages in the past 30 days. Media exposure includes both anti-tobacco and pro-tobacco ads.
• Determinants: Access/availability of tobacco products is high (71.3% buy cigarettes in stores), with some students (9.6%) having brand logos and 9.0% reportedly offered free cigarettes.
• School Factors: 34.9% were taught about tobacco dangers, with high student awareness and discussion on smoking reasons.

Limitations: The survey highlights potential for tobacco control programs, but specific cessation and media influences need further attention.
