In the last quarter of 1989, the California Department of Health Services (DHS) put out a request for proposal to undertake “Initial baseline Survey of attitudes, behaviors and media exposure regarding smoking and tobacco use.” In January 1990, the contract was awarded to University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The 1990-1991 California Tobacco Survey (CTS) was the first in a series of cross-sectional studies to collect information about tobacco use and behaviors among California adults and teenagers. Westat Inc. was subcontracted to conduct this survey. Four instruments were used in this baseline CTS: Screener Interview, Extended Adult Interview, Extended Youth Interview, and Pregnancy Extended Interview. This baseline CTS was conducted between June 1990 and July 1991. The objective of this survey was to collect baseline representative statewide information on tobacco-related behaviors, knowledge and attitudes towards smoking. These data are used by the California DHS to plan and assess the effectiveness of smoking cessation strategies.
