The 1993 California Tobacco Study (CTS) was the third in a series of cross-sectional studies to collect information about tobacco use and behaviors among California adults and teenagers. It was sponsored by the State of California's Department of Health Services (DHS) under subcontract with the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). Westat Inc. was subcontracted to conduct this survey as well as the 1990-1991 and 1992 surveys. Three instruments were used in the 1993 CTS: Screener Interview, Extended Adult Interview, and Extended Youth Interview. The Pregnancy Extended Interview included in previous surveys was removed from the 1993 CTS. Data collection for this CTS began on January 6, 1993 and ended on May 4, 1993. The objective of this survey was to collect representative statewide data on tobacco-related behaviors, knowledge and attitudes towards smoking, and monitoring the effect of programs on individual target populations. These data are used by the California DHS to plan and assess the effectiveness of smoking cessation strategies.
