Connecticut Youth Tobacco Survey2017 Results and Trends

Connecticut High School YTS Bar Charts

Each chart graphically describes survey results for selected variables:

▪ The weighted percentage of students who reported each behavior overall and by sex, grade and race/ethnicity.

▪ Results for subgroups with fewer than our minimal threshold of students are not shown (<50 students) or a relative standard error (RSE) greater than 30%.

▪ Statistically significant differences by sex, grade and race/ethnicity, if they exist.

▪ All Hispanic students are included in the Hispanic category. All other races are non-Hispanic.

▪ SAS was used to calculate statistical differences.

Connecticut High School YTS Trend Graphs

Each trend graph graphically describes whether the prevalence of a behavior has increased, decreased or stayed the same over time:

▪ The weighted percentage of students who reported each behavior by year.

▪ Whether there was a statistically significant difference in prevalence between 2015 and 2017.
