Model-based small area estimates are created by combining information from TUS/CPS and auxiliary variables obtained from relevant sources (Census and American Community Survey) through statistical models.
* Modeled estimates for current and ever smoking prevalence are also derived from this project. They are not released in this website to avoid overlap with estimates derived from combining NHIS/BRFSS under the topic of Cancer Risk Factors and Screening Behaviors. For those who are specially interested in the estimates of smoking prevalence derived from TUS/CPS, please contact us.
