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.
The PATH Study Data Tables and Figures include a series of cross-sectional and longitudinal tables and figures that provide information about tobacco use among youth (aged 12-17), young adults (aged 18-24), and adults (aged 25+) of the PATH Study. These Data Tables and Figures are available for public use.
