Tanzania – Arusha Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) Summary

This summary covers key aspects of the 2003 GYTS for Tanzania – Arusha, which focused on tobacco use among 13-15 year old students. The survey employed a two-stage cluster sampling design with a response rate of 92.6%, involving 1,253 students. Findings highlight:

Tobacco Use Prevalence: About 6.4% of students currently use any tobacco product, with 1.8% smoking cigarettes (higher among boys). Ever smoking cigarettes affects 7.0% of students.
Exposure to Secondhand Smoke (SHS): A significant portion (around 20%) is exposed to SHS at home or in public; many believe SHS is harmful and should be banned in public places.
Media and Advertising: Most students see both anti-smoking and pro-cigarette ads; some report influences like seeing brand logos or receiving free cigarettes.
School Factors: The survey indicates that many students have been taught about smoking dangers in school, with high engagement in discussions and lessons.
Knowledge and Attitudes: Students often express negative attitudes toward smoking, with fewer having social influences to start it, though some protective factors exist.
Key Determinants: Price, access, parental smoking, and peers play roles in tobacco use behaviors, providing insights for tobacco control programs.
