Global Adult Tobacco Survey in Kazakhstan, 2019

Overview

The Global Adult Tobacco Survey (‎GATS)‎ is a nationally representative household survey of persons aged 15 years or older and is a global standard to systematically monitor tobacco use and track key tobacco control indicators. GATS was launched as part of the Global Tobacco Surveillance System. It was first implemented in Kazakhstan in 2014 and was repeated in 2019. The overall scope of the GATS is to systematically monitor adult tobacco use in a nationally representative sample of Kazakhstan population and provide foundation for further adaptation and reinforcement of effective tobacco control measures. The current report presents the results of the GATS 2019 on key tobacco control indicators and gives a comparative analysis with the GATS 2014
