GYTS is a global standard for systematically monitoring youth tobacco use and tracking key tobacco control indicators. GYTS is a nationally representative school-based survey of students aged 13-15 years using a standard core questionnaire, sample design, and data collection and management procedures that were reviewed and approved by international experts. GYTS is intended to enhance the capacity of countries to design, implement and evaluate tobacco control interventions outlined in the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) through the MPOWER policy package.
