ITC PROJECT

The International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project (the ITC Project) is the first-ever international cohort study of tobacco use. Its overall objective is to measure the psychosocial and behavioural impact of key national level policies of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). The ITC Project is a collaborative effort with international health organizations and policymakers in 31 countries so far, inhabited by >50% of the world's population, >60% of the world's smokers, and >70% of the world's tobacco users... In 2016, the ITC Project expanded its tobacco policy evaluation surveys to study the use of vaping and other nicotine delivery products (such as heated tobacco products) and to evaluate and inform policies to manage the use of these products.
