This dataset was developed to provide states with comprehensive data on both middle school and high school students regarding tobacco use, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, smoking cessation, school curriculum, minors' ability to purchase or otherwise obtain tobacco products, knowledge and attitudes about tobacco, and familiarity with pro-tobacco and anti-tobacco media messages. The dataset uses a two-stage cluster sample design to produce representative samples of students in middle schools (grades 6–8) and high schools (grades 9–12)

This dataset is valuable for data science due to its coverage of youth tobacco use over nearly two decades. Its rich demographic details and broad geographical spread enable researchers and policymakers to identify trends, behaviors, and risk factors associated with tobacco use among the youth.

For instance, it can help in understanding how tobacco use prevalence varies across different age groups, genders, races, and educational backgrounds. The stratification of data by location and demographic characteristics allows for targeted analysis that can inform public health strategies and educational campaigns aimed at reducing tobacco use among young people.

Some analysis of this dataset can include:

• Statistical assessments of tobacco use trends, examining changes in attitudes towards tobacco, and identifying high-risk groups based on demographic characteristics.
• Performing time-series analyses to understand how tobacco use has evolved over the years or spatial analyses to identify geographical variations in tobacco use trends.
• Correlation studies can help uncover associations between tobacco use and factors like education levels, race, and gender.
• Advanced machine learning models could predict future trends in youth tobacco use or evaluate the potential impact of new tobacco control measures.

This data shows the percentage of adults (age 18 and over) who are current smokers. Smoking is the single biggest cause of preventable death and illnesses, and big inequalities exist between and within communities. Smoking is a major risk factor for many diseases, such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, bronchitis and emphysema) and heart disease. It is also associated with cancers in other organs. Smoking is a modifiable lifestyle risk factor. Preventing people from starting smoking is important in reducing the health harms and inequalities. This data is based on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Annual Population Survey (APS). The percentage of adults is not age-standardised. In this dataset particularly at district level there may be inherent statistical uncertainty in some data values. Thus as with many other datasets, this data should be used together with other data and resources to obtain a fuller picture.

This repository contains 523 human feedback messages sent to daily smokers and vapers who were preparing to quit smoking/vaping with a virtual coach.

Study

Daily smokers and vapers recruited through the online crowdsourcing platform Prolific interacted with the text-based virtual coach Kai in up to five sessions between 1 February and 19 March 2024. The sessions were 3-5 days apart. In each session, participants were assigned a new preparatory activity for quitting smoking (e.g., listing reasons for quitting smoking, envisioning one's desired future self after quitting smoking, doing a breathing exercise). Between sessions, participants had a 20% chance of receiving a feedback message from one of two human coaches. More information on the study can be found in the Open Science Framework (OSF) pre-registration: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/78CNR. The implementation of the virtual coach Kai can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11102861.

Feedback messages

All feedback messages were written by one of two Master's students in psychology. The two human coaches were directed to craft messages incorporating feedback, argument, and either a suggestion or reinforcement. They were also instructed to connect with individuals by referencing aspects of their lives, express empathy toward those with low confidence, and provide reinforcement when people were motivated.

When writing the feedback, the human coaches had access to data on people's baseline smoking and physical activity behavior (i.e., smoking/vaping frequency, weekly exercise amount, existence of previous quit attempts of at least 24 hours, and the number of such quit attempts in the last year), introduction texts from the first session with the virtual coach, previous preparatory activity (i.e., activity formulation, effort spent on the activity and experience with it, return likelihood), current state (i.e., self-efficacy, perceived importance of preparing for quitting, human feedback appreciation), and new activity formulation. Notably, the human coaches only had access to anonymized versions of the introduction texts and activity experience responses (e.g., names were removed). Except for the free-text responses describing participants' experiences with their previous activity and their introduction texts, all of this information is provided together with the feedback messages. For the previous and new activities, we just provide the titles and not also the entire formulations that the human coaches had access to.

Before sending the messages to participants on Prolific, we added a greeting (i.e., "Best wishes, Karina & Goda on behalf of the Perfect Fit Smoking Cessation Team"), a disclaimer that the messages were not medical advice, and a link to confirm having read the message at the end. We also added "This is your feedback message from your human coaches Karina and Goda for preparing to quit [smoking/vaping]:" at the start of the message.

The human coaches approved publishing these feedback messages.

Additional data from the study

Additional data from the study such as participants' free-text descriptions of their experiences with their activities and their introductions from the first session with the virtual coach will also be published and linked to the OSF pre-registration of the study.

The information is from the "National Health Interview Survey" of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, which collects information on smoking behavior from the public through telephone interviews. For more information, please visit the "Tobacco Hazard Prevention Information Website" of the National Health Administration (http://tobacco.hpa.gov.tw/).The definition of "daily smoking rate" is the ratio of individuals who have smoked more than 100 cigarettes from the past to present and have used tobacco daily in the last 30 days. The formula for calculation is: Number of respondents aged 15 and above who answered "smoked more than 100 cigarettes so far" and "used tobacco daily in the last 30 days" / Number of valid completed interviews of individuals aged 15 and above * 100%.

The PATH Study was launched in 2011 to inform the Food and Drug Administration's regulatory activities under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA). The PATH Study is a collaboration between the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study sampled over 150,000 mailing addresses across the United States to create a national sample of people who use or do not use tobacco. 45,971 adults and youth constitute the first (baseline) wave, Wave 1, of data collected by this longitudinal cohort study. These 45,971 adults and youth along with 7,207 "shadow youth" (youth ages 9 to 11 sampled at Wave 1) make up the 53,178 participants that constitute the Wave 1 Cohort. Respondents are asked to complete an interview at each follow-up wave. Youth who turn 18 by the current wave of data collection are considered "aged-up adults" and are invited to complete the Adult Interview. Additionally, "shadow youth" are considered "aged-up youth" upon turning 12 years old, when they are asked to complete an interview after parental consent. At Wave 4, a probability sample of 14,098 adults, youth, and shadow youth ages 10 to 11 was selected from the civilian, noninstitutionalized population (CNP) at the time of Wave 4. This sample was recruited from residential addresses not selected for Wave 1 in the same sampled Primary Sampling Unit (PSU)s and segments using similar within-household sampling procedures. This "replenishment sample" was combined for estimation and analysis purposes with Wave 4 adult and youth respondents from the Wave 1 Cohort who were in the CNP at the time of Wave 4. This combined set of Wave 4 participants, 52,731 participants in total, forms the Wave 4 Cohort. At Wave 7, a probability sample of 14,863 adults, youth, and shadow youth ages 9 to 11 was selected from the CNP at the time of Wave 7. This sample was recruited from residential addresses not selected for Wave 1 or Wave 4 in the same sampled PSUs and segments using similar within-household sampling procedures. This "second replenishment sample" was combined for estimation and analysis purposes with the Wave 7 adult and youth respondents from the Wave 4 Cohorts who were at least age 15 and in the CNP at the time of Wave 7. This combined set of Wave 7 participants, 46,169 participants in total, forms the Wave 7 Cohort. Please refer to the Restricted-Use Files User Guide that provides further details about children designated as "shadow youth" and the formation of the Wave 1, Wave 4, and Wave 7 Cohorts. Dataset 0002 (DS0002) contains the data from the State Design Data. This file contains 7 variables and 82,139 cases. The state identifier in the State Design file reflects the participant's state of residence at the time of selection and recruitment for the PATH Study. Dataset 1011 (DS1011) contains the data from the Wave 1 Adult Questionnaire. This data file contains 2,021 variables and 32,320 cases. Each of the cases represents a single, completed interview. Dataset 1012 (DS1012) contains the data from the Wave 1 Youth and Parent Questionnaire. This file contains 1,431 variables and 13,651 cases. Dataset 1411 (DS1411) contains the Wave 1 State Identifier data for Adults and has 5 variables and 32,320 cases. Dataset 1412 (DS1412) contains the Wave 1 State Identifier data for Youth (and Parents) and has 5 variables and 13,651 cases. The same 5 variables are in each State Identifier dataset, including PERSONID for linking the State Identifier to the questionnaire and biomarker data and 3 variables designating the state (state Federal Information Processing System (FIPS), state abbreviation, and full name of the state). The State Identifier values in these datasets represent participants' state of residence at the time of Wave 1, which is also their state of residence at the time of recruitment. Dataset 1611 (DS1611) contains the Tobacco Universal Product Code (UPC) data from Wave 1. This data file contains 32 variables and 8,601 cases. This file contains UPC values on the packages of tobacco products used or in the possession of adult respondents at the time of Wave 1. The UPC values can be used to identify and validate the specific products used by respondents and augment the analyses of the characteristics of tobacco products used
