Our goal is to understand tobacco use and exposure to tobacco marketing in young people aged 12-25 years old

Rutgers University is doing a research study, the Center for Rapid Surveillance of Tobacco (CRST) Youth and Young Adult Cohort, to learn more about teens and young adults tobacco use in Vermont, New Jersey, Ohio, California, Kentucky, and North Carolina. Eligible participants complete four 10-15 minute online surveys about:

  • Tobacco use behavior (e.g. brands, flavors, price promotions)

  • Access to tobacco products

  • Policies and laws related to substance use

  • Awareness and exposure to tobacco marketing efforts
