Evaluation and Monitoring
The Bureau of Tobacco Control of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene helps implement public health strategies that meet federal and expert guidelines for best practices:
- • We assess the impact of taxation, legislation,
treatment and public education activities on death, illness, and economic
costs.
- • We keep abreast of current trends in attitudes
and behavior.
- • We track trends in cigarette sales and risk
behavior.
- • We provide technical assistance to other tobacco units and help develop educational and media materials.
