Small Area estimates for Tobacco Related Measures Using the Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS)

当前人口调查的烟草使用补充（TUS-CPS）是一项由国家癌症研究所赞助的烟草使用调查，自1992年以来每两年至四年作为美国人口普查局当前人口调查的一部分进行一次。TUS-CPS旨在在国家和州一级产生可靠的估计。然而，政策制定者、癌症控制规划者和研究人员往往需要县级烟草相关措施的数据，以更好地评估烟草控制计划，监测烟草使用控制的进展，并开展烟草相关研究。由于这些地区的样本不足，必须使用基于模型的小面积估计技术。 在过去的几年里，我们进行了几项研究，使用TUS-CPS的不同数据周期和五种不同的结果（当前和以往的吸烟率，无烟工作场所政策的流行率，无烟家庭规则的流行率，试图戒烟24小时以上的人的百分比），产生基于模型的小区域估计。这些研究成果为县级公共卫生利益相关者和研究人员提供了有用的资源。

The Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) is an NCI-sponsored survey of tobacco use that has been administered as part of the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey every two to four years since 1992. The TUS-CPS is designed to produce reliable estimates at the national and state levels. However, policy makers, cancer control planners and researchers often need county level data for tobacco related measures to better evaluate tobacco control programs, monitor progress in the control of tobacco use, and conduct tobacco-related research. Model-based small area estimation (SAE) techniques must be used due to insufficient samples in those areas. In the past few years, we have conducted several researches producing model-based small area estimates using different data cycles of TUS-CPS and for five different outcomes (current and ever smoking prevalence, smoke-free work place policy prevalence, smoke-free home rule prevalence, percent of people attempted to quit smoking for 24+ hours). The products from those researches provide a useful resource to county public health stakeholders and researchers.
