Tobacco-related datasets
September 27, 2013
The Australian National
Preventive Health Agency
(ANPHA) has announced a new
resource: Australia’s Tobacco-
Related Datasets which provides
an overview of Australia’s key
tobacco-related datasets and
supports the Agency’s goal of
guiding improvements in national
surveillance systems for prevention
and health promotion and ensuring
that information on the progress of
prevention and health promotion
strategies is made readily available
and regularly reported.
The various datasets include
smoking prevalence rates by age
and gender, health, wellbeing
and lifestyle, morbidity and
mortality rates, expenditure and
economic activity, monitoring and
surveillance, young people and
schoolchildren, and population
groups such as prisoners and
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
These are intended to be a
resource for researchers, policy
makers and those involved in
tobacco-related preventive health
activities.
