Research notes

Rockville, MD survey research and evaluation firm. Credits checked 2026-10-22 against fetched pages: GAO-06-818, NIDA evaluation report, CDC Stacks (all via Wayback), USAspending award records (API). Westat also runs the NIH/FDA Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study and NHANES data collection, which are surveillance, not campaign evaluation, so they are not listed.
