This report comments on data collected for the Barbados component of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) and is intended to establish the extent to which children in schools smoke and if so, whether this is experimental or habitual and if there have been any changes since 1999 when the last survey was conducted.
To minimise the possibility of bias in the survey from different patterns of non-participation/response by students and schools, the questionnaires were weighted according to a formula that accounted for the non-selection probability for schools and classrooms that were not chosen in the sample.
The age of respondents for this Barbados study was dictated largely by the requirements of the global study.
