Summary

Current study is the fourth wave of the policy-related survey on tobacco control in Hong Kong. It aims to investigate the level of public support on current and future tobacco control measures and taxation policies and to address the timely impacts of smoke-free policies, substantiate public support on further tobacco control measures and assist COSH in shaping policy direction for government. In total, 5000 subjects will be randomly selected for a telephone interview. The subjects will be categorized into three groups, i.e. never smokers (1667), ex-smokers (1667) and current smokers (1667). They will be required to answer a questionnaire via telephone. All data shall be collected using a Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) system, which allows real-time data capture and consolidation. All interviews shall be conducted anonymously. Analysis of survey data will aim to identify current opinion on tobacco control policies and implications for future policies. Analyses will be controlled for confounding variables as required by stratification into sub-groups based on important pre-defined characteristics and/or by multivariate analysis. Comparison with past trends and, where possible, extrapolation of future trends will be explored. Weights will be applied to adjust for the sex and age of Hong Kong population, and to handle the over-sampling issues of current smokers. The data analysis will be conducted by statisticians.
