Waterloo, Ontario: Propel Centre for Population Health Impact, University of Waterloo. Note: This version of the CIM of Youth Tobacco Control replaces all previously published versions. The indicators and measures presented in this report have been updated based on pilot test results. Youth Excel aims to integrate the prevention of cancers with the prevention of other chronic diseases; integrate science, policy and practice to optimize prevention efforts; and catalyze cross-provincial/territorial partnerships to accelerate progress as part of an initiative called CLASP: Coalitions Linking Action and Science for Prevention. Efforts are currently focused on tobacco control, physical activity and healthy eating. Youth Excel is a team of teams including researchers, policy and program leaders from provinces. From 2009 to 2012, provincial teams were led by the following host organizations: NL (Memorial U), PE (U of PEI), NB (UNB), ON (Public Health Ontario), MB (CancerCare Manitoba), AB (U of Alberta), BC (U of Victoria), plus the pan-canadian Joint Consortium for School Health and the University of Waterloo/Canadian Cancer Society s Propel Centre for Population Health Impact, which served as the secretariat. Development of the Core Indicators and of Youth Health was funded by Development of the core indicators and measures described in this report was made possible through a financial contribution from Health Canada, through the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. The views expressed herein represent the views of Youth Excel and do not necessarily represent the views of the project funder. For more information visit our website or cim@uwaterloo.ca. CIM of Youth Tobacco Control: Summary i
3 Acknowledgements Development of the Core Indicators and of Youth Tobacco Control was a multi-stage process. Initial development began with a two day workshop, plus pre and post meeting written feedback. The initial refinement stage involved more written feedback and a series of teleconferences. Pilot testing occurred during the Spring of 2012 and refinements were made by a subset of initial contributors. We thank the many individuals and organizations that contributed to the development phase.

5 Summary Use of consistent measures to generate and report comparable indicators can more rapidly advance our knowledge of what types of interventions work in different settings with different populations, and help inform change (for example, program and policy decisions). Adopting core indicators and measures (CIM) can minimize duplication and reduce burden on respondents by coordinating our efforts. Our hope in producing the CIM of Youth Health is that that individuals and organizations in Canada who conduct, or make use of, surveillance and evaluation data will voluntarily and consistently adopt the CIM of Youth Health as they have been developed, each time measurement occurs. There are currently three modules of the CIM of Youth Health: Tobacco Control, Physical Activity & Sedentary Behaviour, and Nutrition. Each module is described in a different report. This report describes the CIM of Youth Tobacco Control and replaces all previously published versions. All indicators and measures described in this report have been updated from the original versions based on pilot test results. Building on past efforts, a group of experts developed two separate sets of core indicators and measures that can be implemented together or independently: 1) for use with youth respondents aged ( individual-level ) and 2) for use with school health teams/administrators when assessing aspects of school settings related to tobacco control ( school-level ). Both sets of core indicators and measures were designed to be used with any data collection tool, either as a stand-alone set of measures (questions) or integrated with additional questions and/or topics. The individual-level CIM set contains 10 indicators measured by 9 questions about tobacco use behaviour, tobacco use intentions and exposure to secondhand smoke, plus 5 demographic questions. The individual-level CIM are designed to be used with youth respondents aged 10-19, regardless of their living, working and playing environment(s). For example, implementation of the CIM is not intended to be limited to students attending school. The school-level CIM set contains 9 indicators measured by 7 questions about the existence and enforcement of rules prohibiting tobacco use, extra-curricular activities and community partnerships designed to reduce tobacco use among youth, plus 3 school characteristic variables. The school-level CIM is designed to be used with respondents (as individuals or a team) who can accurately report on various aspects of their school setting. We limited the scope of the school-level CIM to processes, programs and structures which educators and their community partners can reasonably be expected to influence. To balance standardization with flexibility, we have structured the CIM of Youth Tobacco Control so that topics can be assessed independently, but hope that all the indicators associated with a particular topic will be reported publicly (where possible) and that all the measures associated with these indicators will be included in the data collection tool exactly as they appear in this report. Common reporting guidelines are included to facilitate comparison across implementations. The core indicators and measures for youth respondents and school setting assessments are summarized in the tables that follow, and explained in detail in the body of this report.
