DHSS wants to know: Are fewer people smoking? Have those who want to quit succeeded? Are special populations being well-served? Ongoing research is essential to determining how tobacco-use attitudes, norms, and behaviors change over time in response to CTCP's initiatives. DHSS has instigated a number of surveys to obtain both baseline and ongoing assessment of tobacco-use behaviors in New Jersey that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of current tobacco control programs and to aid in future planning.
