To view data by indicator:

In the example screenshot below, the user selected Adult (GATS) for which "Tobacco Use", "Cessation", "Secondhand Smoke", "Economics", "Media", "Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions" are the available tobacco topics.
   
   Note: You can also choose to view the MPOWER topics available for the selected population/survey by selecting the MPOWER option after selecting the population/survey.
   
   
   
   
2. Click on the desired tobacco topic. The system displays all the indicators available for the selected population/survey and topic. You can select another population/survey and topic to view by selecting a different option from the Population (Survey) and a different topic or MPOWER option and clicking GO. You can also choose to view all indicators by topic by clicking the View all indicators by topic link.

View the data for each region in table format

1. To view the data for each region in table format, locate the desired indicator and click the Table link on the same row as the indicator. The system displays the data for the selected indicator for all locations in a table. In the screenshot below, the user has selected to view the average number of cigarettes smoked per day for all regions on a table. The system displays the countries in the first column and the total number, male, and female data in the subsequent columns.
   
   Note: The system displays footnotes at the bottom of the page to explain the symbols displayed in a table. For example, when a tilde (~) appears in a cell, it means that the sample collected was too small to support statistically valid results for that particular cell.
