title: Tobacco use among American Indian/Alaska Native youth in Wisconsin.
abstract: The Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council investigated the level of tobacco use among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth to help Tribal communities appropriately target tobacco prevention and intervention efforts. A youth tobacco survey of AI/AN middle school students in Wisconsin was conducted. Nine hundred six AI/AN students in grades 6-8 at 15 tribal and public schools were surveyed with the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council Youth Tobacco Survey (GLITC YTS) Overall, 79% of students reported having tried some tobacco product; 45% reported currently using some form of tobacco. Tobacco use among AI/AN middle school students was higher than that of middle school students participating in the Wisconsin Youth Tobacco Survey.
