2014-2015 TUS-CPS Data

  1. Behavioral Research Program
  2. Tobacco Control Research Branch (TCRB)
  3. TUS-CPS
  4. TUS-CPS Results
  5. 2014-2015 TUS-CPS Data

Major new content of the 2014-2015 series included detailed information on non-cigarette tobacco products, including emerging ones; information about use of flavored non-cigarette tobacco products; and addition of items on attitudes toward smoking in multi-unit housing.

Data and SAS Read-in Files

SAS code for creating a permanent SAS dataset from the .dat and ASCII text files (called “SAS Read-In Files”) is available for the harmonized and single wave public use files, respectively.  Each program reads all variables from the core and the supplement and creates a SAS dataset containing all of the variables.

Replicate Weights

Links to the TUS-CPS Replicate Weight Files, including self-response and nonresponse weights, are provided below.

Summary Results

The data tables listed here provide examples of the type of information that researchers can obtain from the TUS. They are based on analyses of the 2014-15 TUS-CPS data files. All tables refer to self responses from self reports only.

When using these tables, please note that:

  • Several federal surveys are used to track tobacco usage in the US population, each with slightly different assessments. These tables are examples of analyses of the 2014-15 data files that are available from the Census Bureau.
  • The table data are weighted for the sample design and for CPS Smoking Supplement self-response.
  • Tabled values may not sum exactly to 100% due to rounding error.
  • These tables contain simple parameter estimates (percentages and means), and measures of variance in the form of confidence intervals. These confidence intervals were estimated using replicate weights. Alternative estimates of variance and confidence intervals can be made for simple analyses using Attachment 16 of the 2014-15 Tobacco Use Supplement Files of the US Census Bureau Technical Documentation. Replicate weights necessary for more complex analysis such as regression or analysis of variance are available for download from the Census Website.

Non-Response Bias Report

This report is an analysis to determine whether non-response among different demographic groups that responded to the TUS-CPS may have yielded biased estimates.
