Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 06/27/2025
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/27/2025
Terms of Clearance: Previous terms (modified) continue: The YTS should consult with the National Center for Health Statistics on parallel testing methods. Before proposed new questions are submitted to OMB for review, the YTS program will conduct robust cognitive testing on a large enough group of individuals to reflect the spectrum of likely respondents, with the goal that the CDC, the State sponsors, and the public understand how the respondents interpreted the question and response options. Approval is provided consistent with CDC's agreement to cognitively test a sex at birth question this year to obtain data on how this question performs among youth.

Abstract: The goal of the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) is to collect tobacco use behavioral data among 6th through 12th grade students in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The purpose of the survey is to assess use of tobacco products and the associated correlates. For this revision, the content of the 2024 instrument remains largely consistent with the past NYTS surveys. The overall burden is somewhat higher than the previous cycle due to the increased sample size allowing for more precision of race estimates.
