I have researcher from a smoking cessation project looking for data from the 2017 CCHS covering a different age range than the standard products report. We know the PUMF is probably a year away. Would this require a custom tabulation?
1. young adult (18-29) current smoking prevalence (past 30-days) in Ontario
2. and how this rate compares with the national average (or even other provinces) for the same age group, young adult (18-29)
3. young adult (18-29) daily smoking prevalence in Ontario
4. young adult (18-29) occasional smoking prevalence in Ontario
Answer:
We’ve received the following response from subject matter:
“We can run the numbers for the researcher, however, could you clarify with them if for the first estimate they would like the prevalence of current daily or occasional smokers or the prevalence of those who smoked a cigarette in the past 30 days?”
Follow-up Question:
I checked with the researcher, and here’s their reply:
For the first inquiry, primarily, I would like to know whether or not they have smoked a cigarette in the past 30 days.
However, I’d also be very interested to see the current smoking rate (daily + occasional), as well to compare the two data.
Looking at CCHS 2016 on ODESI, this would be question SMK_Q010 for the past 30 days, but also very interested in SMK_Q005, provided that these questions did not change for CCHS 2017.
Follow-up Answer:
Please see the following response from subject matter:
