Tracking statewide smoking rates was one of the population health measures required as part of the SIM Test grant. The plan for improving population health utilized and built upon the Connecticut Department of Public Health\u2019s State Health Assessment, State Health Improvement Plan (Healthy Connecticut 2020) and the Chronic Disease Prevention Plan.\n\nThe SIM Data Dashboard used the Connecticut School Health Survey data and defines high school youth smoking as students who reported they smoked cigarettes once or more in the past 30 days.\n<h4>Overall<\/h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li>In the years prior to the CT SIM implementation, the percentage of high school students who smoke had steadily declined from 8.9% in 2013 to 5.6% in 2015.<\/li>\n \t<li>Since the CT SIM implementation, the percentage of high school students who smoke continued to decrease.<\/li>\n \t<li>In 2017, 3.5% of high school students reported smoking, which is far below the target goal of 10.4%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n__________________\n<h4>Information Sources<\/h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a class=\"nonblock\" href=\"https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/-\/media\/Departments-and-Agencies\/DPH\/dph\/hems\/tobacco\/PDF\/2017-CT-Youth-Tobacco-Survey-Results.pdf?la=en\">Connecticut Youth Tobacco Survey Results - Connecticut Department of Public Health<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-1198-0-0-2\" class=\"widget_text so-panel widget widget_custom_html panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div class=\"widget_text panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1198-0-0-2\" ><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/views\/YSmk_overall_0919\/youth_smk?:display_count=y&publish=yes&:toolbar=n&:origin=viz_share_link;:showVizHome=no\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"850\" height=\"850\"><\/iframe>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Population Health High School Youth Cigarette Smoking &#8211; Overall Statistics for Connecticut<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1235,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-30 22:18:22","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1198"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1235"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1198"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3360,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1198\/revisions\/3360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
