DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) is commonly used as one of the standards for determining smoking prevalence in the U.S. adult population. However, the quality of TUS-CPS data has not been yet investigated. Given the high level of complexity of modern design of TUS-CPS and sensitive nature of smoking-related questions, establishing data quality is very important. Indeed, even if cutting-edge statistical methodology is used to analyze the data, ambiguous data can result in misleading findings about the incidence of smoking behaviors and, therefore, can affect policies targeted at preventing cancer and other smoking-attributable diseases and conditions. The proposed study is targeted at assessing data reliability of several smoking-related measures in the TUS-CPS. The following aims will be achieved: (1) several smoking and non-smoking measures will be defined; (2) reliability of these measures will be examined, and levels of reliability for smoking and non-smoking measures will be compared; and (3) the relationship between the strict data agreement and several respondent and survey attributes (socio-demographic characteristics, smoking habits, respondent mode (self, proxy) and survey method (phone, in-person), and their interactions) will be identified. It is anticipated that the results f this research will help to confirm either the high level of the TUS-CPS data quality or necessity of improvements in the design and administration of national surveys used to assess sensitive information such as smoking, sexual activity, drug and alcohol use, and other behaviors. Importance of the proposed investigation is also confirmed by preliminary research findings. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed project will investigate the reliability of several smoking-related measures in the Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS). Given that the TUS-CPS is commonly used as one of the standards for determining smoking prevalence in the U.S. adult population, assessing the quality of TUS-CPS data obtained is vital for accurately informing tobacco researchers and policymakers. It is anticipated that the investigation will either confirm a high level of data quality, or results will play an important role in improving the design and administration of national surveys to minimize the chance of obtaining ambiguous data and false findings.

描述（由申请人提供）：当前人口调查的烟草使用补充（TUS-CPS）通常用作确定美国成年人吸烟率的标准之一。然而，TUS-CPS 数据的质量尚未得到调查。鉴于 TUS-CPS 现代设计的高度复杂性和吸烟相关问题的敏感性，建立数据质量非常重要。事实上，即使使用最先进的统计方法来分析数据，模糊的数据也可能导致有关吸烟行为发生率的误导性发现，从而影响旨在预防癌症和其他吸烟引起的疾病和状况的政策。拟议的研究旨在评估 TUS-CPS 中几种与吸烟相关的措施的数据可靠性。将实现以下目标： (1) 制定若干吸烟和禁烟措施； （2）审查这些措施的可靠性，比较吸烟措施和非吸烟措施的可靠性水平； (3) 将确定严格的数据一致性与若干受访者和调查属性（社会人口特征、吸烟习惯、受访者模式（自我、代理）和调查方法（电话、亲自）及其相互作用）之间的关系。预计这项研究的结果将有助于确认 TUS-CPS 数据质量的高水平或改进用于评估吸烟、性活动、吸毒和饮酒以及其他行为等敏感信息的国家调查的设计和管理的必要性。初步研究结果也证实了拟议调查的重要性。 公共卫生相关性：拟议项目将调查当前人口调查烟草使用补充资料 (TUS-CPS) 中多项与吸烟相关措施的可靠性。鉴于 TUS-CPS 通常用作确定美国成年人吸烟率的标准之一，评估所获得的 TUS-CPS 数据的质量对于准确告知烟草研究人员和政策制定者至关重要。预计调查将确认高水平的数据质量，或者结果将在改进国家调查的设计和管理方面发挥重要作用，以最大限度地减少获得模糊数据和错误调查结果的机会。
