DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): China is the biggest consumer of tobacco products in the world, with over 320 million smokers. However, there has been very little research on the effectiveness of tobacco control interventions in China and even less sharing of information across the country on what has been done so far. The state is the sole producer, distributor and employer in the tobacco sector, which is economically very important, generating 11% of central government revenues in 2000. There has been little research on the economic implications of tobacco use and control nationally and at provincial level, and so policy makers in provincial and central government have lacked good information on which to base decisions about additional tobacco control measures. To address these pressing needs, this proposal would (1) build capacity among Chinese researchers in the areas of the economics of tobacco control and evaluation of tobacco control interventions and policies; through training and mentoring and working with Chinese researchers to (2) conduct additional needed research on key issues in the economics of tobacco control, such as impact of additional tobacco tax, economic costs of smoking, cost effectiveness of tobacco control intervention; and (3) disseminate widely the results and strengthen dialogue with policy makers in the provincial and central governments of China. This proposed research capacity building project will provide opportunities for collaboration between health economists and health services researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, the World Bank, and three major Chinese universities: Beijing University, Sichuan University, and Fudan University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. This project proposes collaboration between the World Bank and participating universities. The World Bank will contribute its staff time, assist in evaluation of its interventions from Health Project VII. It is anticipated that by the end of this project; China will have a group of solid tobacco control researchers specializing in intervention evaluation and policy related research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 中国是世界上最大的烟草产品消费国，吸烟者超过3.2亿。然而，关于中国烟草控制干预措施有效性的研究很少，关于迄今为止所做工作的信息在全国范围内的共享更少。国家是烟草业的唯一生产者、经销商和雇主，烟草业在经济上非常重要，2000年占中央政府收入的11%。关于烟草使用和控制的经济影响的研究在全国和省一级很少，因此省和中央政府的决策者缺乏关于额外烟草控制措施的决策所依据的良好信息。 为了满足这些迫切的需求，该提案将（1）提高中国研究人员在烟草控制经济学和评估烟草控制干预措施和政策方面的能力;通过培训、指导和与中国研究人员合作，（2）对烟草控制经济学中的关键问题进行额外的必要研究，如增加烟草税的影响，吸烟的经济成本，（3）广泛传播研究结果，加强与中国省级和中央政府决策者的对话。 该研究能力建设项目将为加州大学伯克利分校、世界银行、中国三所主要大学（北京大学、四川大学、复旦大学）和中国预防医学科学院的卫生经济学家和卫生服务研究人员提供合作机会。该项目提议世界银行与参与的大学进行合作。世界银行将贡献其工作人员的时间，协助评估其在卫生项目七中的干预措施。预计到本项目结束时，中国将拥有一批扎实的烟草控制研究人员，专门从事干预评估和政策相关研究。
