Resumen
Descripción
The Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS),
supported by the US Centers for Disease Prevention and
Control and the World Health Organization, was carried out
in Kiev, in the Ukraine in 1999, one of the first of many
countries to implement this standardized school-based survey
of teenage smoking behavior, attitudes and knowledge. This
report presents background information on smoking and
tobacco control policies in Ukraine. It presents simple
descriptive statistics of the GYTS survey data, focusing
especially on the relationship between smoking behavior,
cigarette prices, and other factors that can be affected by
policies intended to reduce smoking in order to reduce the
associated burden of disease and premature death. Multiple
regressions explore the factors that affect the decision to
smoke, and the number of cigarettes that current smokers
report smoking each month, and find that price appears to be
a significant determinant, along with age, gender, and
efforts by schools to ensure that students are well informed
about the effects that smoking has on health.
