California Tobacco-Related Data Dashboard
The California Tobacco Prevention Program's (CTPP) Evaluation and Surveillance Section is announcing the soft launch of a new data tool: the California Tobacco-Related Data Dashboard. This tool is composed of two data dashboards, providing public access to tobacco-related state and county data estimates used by the California Tobacco Prevention Program. Data estimates are mainly from CTPP’s evaluation and surveillance projects.
