Limitations & Implications
• Variation in tobacco control action, social environment
• No measure of ethnicity in GYTS
• Focus on developing countries – USA and NZ only ‘developed’ nations to participate
Future NZ participation
• Repeat of NZ GYTS in 2008
• NZ participation in – Global School Personnel Survey ?– Global Health Professional Students Survey ?
• “Linking data to action”
