obtained from a variety of data sources, and depending on the objectives of the model, they could include population surveys representative of the population of interest (e.g., population distribution, birth rates, migration rates, death/other morbidity rates, tobacco product use behavior prevalence). This section provides a characterization of several classes input parameters informative in developing the TIG.
