Article
20 deals with research, surveillance and exchange of information on tobacco
products. This paper mandates to update comprehensive information on
appropriate scientific national research and established surveillance
mechanisms as well as programs that address the magnitude, patterns,
determinants, related social, economic and health indicators and consequences
of Smokeless Tobacco (SLT) consumption.
Methods
The
present study is a review of global SLT use prevalence among ratified
countries. Nationally representative data per country has been collected and
validated from respective Global Adult Tobacco Surveys (GATS); Global Youth
Tobacco Surveys (GYTS); WHO report on Global Tobacco Epidemic - 2013 &
2015; WHO STEPwsie approach to chronic disease surveillance (STEPS surveys);
and Global Progress Report on implementation of the WHO FCTC - 2016.
Results
Comprehensive
information on Global SLT use is limited. Data on SLT use among adults is
available at national level in 140 Parties only. Periodic and recent data is
available in 15 Parties only. Information of SLT use among adolescents at
national level is available for 110 countries only. Periodic and recent data
among adolescents is available in 20 Parties. In SEAR, SLT use among
adolescents is higher than smoking, unlike other regions. Research on economics
and health consequences is available for 25 and 10 Parties respectively.
Conclusions
Parties
should periodically monitor and share the magnitude, patterns, determinants and
related social, economic and health consequences of all tobacco products
including SLT especially in SEAR. |
