Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education

This is the 8th Annual Report on the Ontario Tobacco Strategy and the progress of tobacco control in Canada. The series incorporates and expands upon the content of the two previous Evaluation Reports and the seven Annual Monitoring Reports released to date. The objective of this reorganization is to provide more indepth analysis and to do so in a more timely fashion. This Report is the first of four “modules” that will make up the new annual series. The full series consists of:

Module 1. Tobacco Control Highlights: Ontario and Beyond – a summary of recent developments, providing context for subsequent modules;

Module 2. OTS Project Evaluations: A Coordinated Review – a largely qualitative summary of accomplishments by OTS projects funded in the previous year;

Module 3. Indicators of Progress – quantitative data from a variety of survey and other sources measuring progress in Ontario;

Module 4. Annual Surveillance Report – a discussion of the results and implications of the findings in the other three modules.
