Summary Starting with the 2014-2015 cycle, the Youth Smoking Survey (YSS) will be renamed the Canadian Student Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey (CSTADS). It will collect information on students in grades 6-12 for tobacco and grades 7-12 for alcohol and drugs. Health Canada has a requirement to carry out the 2014-2015 CSTADS following the existing methodology for the YSS as closely as possible. Data collection will be done by means of a school-based survey. The target population for the CSTADS is all school children attending grades 6 to 12 in Canada, excluding residents of the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and residents living on First Nation Reserves. Students who are attending special schools (e.g., schools for visually-impaired and hearing-impaired) or who are attending schools located on military bases will also be excluded from the population. The Contractor must try to obtain the participation of all 10 provinces. Should a province refuse to participate to the CSTADS, the Contractor must get the approval from Health Canada in order to proceed with the survey administration. The Technical Authority may refuse to proceed with the survey by cancelling the cycle if the Technical Authority believes that there will not be enough representation at the national level.

Additional data on drug and alcohol use must be obtained from youth in grades 7 to 12 only. The sampling frame and design for the 2014-2015 CSTADS must produce a representative sample of youth in Canada in these respective grades. The survey must track smoking status and amount smoked, as well as other indicators that describe substance use behaviour, knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, and provides both national and provincial estimates. The survey must be administered during one class period with an approximate completion time of 30 minutes. Final data sets with all approved supporting documentation (User Guide, Codebook, and Frequency Tables) for the 2014-2015 CSTADS in English and French must be delivered to the Technical Authority upon completion of the Contract. The 2014-2015 survey must be conducted in a manner that provides seamless continuity with previously collected YSS data. The sampling and survey methodology used in data collection for the 2010-2011 YSS is described in the 2010-2011 User Guide attached as Appendix 1 to Annex "A". The Contractor's sampling and survey methodology for conducting this 2014-2015 survey must produce results that are consistent and comparable to the results that would be produced by the methods described in the 2010-2011 sample. Services are required commencing at contract award to 31 December, 2015 with an irrevocable option on the part of Canada to extend the contract period by up to two (2) additional periods of two (2) years each. Pursuant to section 01 of Standard Instructions 2003, Bidders must submit a complete list of names of all individuals who are currently directors of the Bidder. Furthermore, as determined by the Special Investigations Directorate, Departmental Oversight Branch, each individual named on the list may be requested to complete a Consent to a Criminal Record Verification form.
