The purpose of this agreement is to conduct the next series of Tobacco Use Supplements to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) which will continue to provide invaluable information for national and state estimates of tobacco use and other tobacco control measures as part of the continuing need for tobacco control surveillance. In 2006, the NCI and the NIH Office of Medical Application of Research sponsored a State of the Science Conference on Tobacco Use: Prevention, Cessation, and Control. The conference highlighted an array of strategies to address these tobacco use issues. Ultimately, the conference evoked discussion about what we need to learn to further address this problem and emphasized that this future learning depends heavily on surveillance programs. Public Health strategies require continuous need for surveillance: much that is needed is provided by the TUS-CPS series public use data, and disseminated reports and publications based on its data.
