The Substance Abuse Advisory Council Secretariat (SAACS), in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, has completed Saint Lucia’s 5th Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), a World Health Organization standardized survey conducted every five years worldwide. The 2025 survey was carried out in all secondary schools across the island, targeting students in Grades 8 to 10. Official results were received in March 2026 and have since undergone a thorough technical review and validation. SAACS is now moving into the data dissemination and action planning phase, engaging key stakeholders to address emerging trends and strengthen national efforts to protect our youth.
