West Virginia Youth Tobacco Survey

The Youth Tobacco Survey was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a surveillance and evaluation tool for state tobacco prevention programs.  The West Virginia Youth Tobacco Survey (WV-YTS) collects information on tobacco use, attitudes and knowledge regarding tobacco, exposure to tobacco-related media, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, and asthma among adolescents.  The WV-YTS is conducted by the West Virgina Division of Tobacco Prevention and the West Virginia Department of Education in collaboration with the CDC.  The WV-YTS was administered to public middle school students in 2000, 2002, 2007 and 2009 and to public high school students in 2000, 2002, 2005, 2007, and 2009.
