State of Tobacco Control: 2002*
The State of Tobacco Control: 2002 report analyzes individual states' actions four years after the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement. The American Lung Association (ALA) has developed this first annual report card on tobacco laws at the state level. Tobacco control laws in four areas are analyzed: Smoke Free Air Laws, Youth Access, Tobacco Control Prevention Spending, and Cigarette Taxes.

Question Inventory on Tobacco
The Question Inventory on Tobacco (QIT), a web-based tool developed by CDC's Office on Smoking and Health, categorizes more than 1,000 tobacco-related questions. This site can be used to collect information on survey questions used in the past, locate available data for secondary analyses, and gather ideas for future instrument development.
Included to date are questions from 11 different health surveys, most of which are national surveys published on or after 1990. The list of questions and surveys is expected to grow as OSH continues to enhance the site.

Introduction to Program Evaluation for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs
This document is a "how to" guide for planning and implementing evaluation activities. The manual reflects the priorities of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office on Smoking and Health (OSH), for program monitoring and evaluation. The purpose of this manual is to assist state tobacco control program managers and staff in the planning, design, implementation, and use of practical and increasingly comprehensive evaluations of tobacco control efforts.
Surveillance and Evaluation Data Resources for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs
