项目摘要

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.

描述（由申请人提供）：当前人口调查烟草使用补充（TUS-CPS）通常被用作确定美国成年人口吸烟率的标准之一。然而，尚未对TUS-CPS数据的质量进行调查。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，模棱两可的数据也可能导致关于吸烟行为发生率的误导性发现，从而可能影响旨在预防癌症和其他吸烟导致的疾病和病症的政策。拟议的研究旨在评估TUS-CPS中几种吸烟相关措施的数据可靠性。将达到以下目标：(1)将界定若干吸烟和非吸烟措施；(2)检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)确定严格的数据协议与几个被调查者和调查属性（社会人口学特征、吸烟习惯、被调查者模式（自我、代理）和调查方法（电话、面对面）以及它们之间的相互作用）之间的关系。预计这项研究的结果将有助于证实，要么是TUS-CPS数据质量高，要么是有必要改进用于评估诸如吸烟、性活动、吸毒和酗酒以及其他行为等敏感信息的国家调查的设计和管理。初步研究结果也证实了拟议调查的重要性。
