PATH Study Data Tables and Figures

View Methodology (pdf)

The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study is a nationally representative longitudinal cohort study of tobacco use and how it affects the health of people in the United States. A collaboration between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the PATH Study was launched in 2011 and the first wave of data collection started in 2013. It is one of the first large tobacco research efforts undertaken by the NIH and the FDA since Congress gave the FDA authority to regulate tobacco products in 2009. Learn more about the PATH Study.
