Welcome back!
The TCORS 3.0 - CAsToR Data Analysis and Modeling Core (DAM) will continue producing this bulletin to keep you updated on the latest data and resources available through the DAM.
At a glance
The PATH Study is a nationally representative, longitudinal cohort study of tobacco use and how it affects the health of people in the United States.
 
The PATH Study interviews tobacco users and nonusers about the use of multiple tobacco products, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes and other electronic nicotine delivery systems, traditional cigars, cigarillos, filtered cigars, smokeless tobacco, snus pouches, pipe tobacco, hookah, dissolvable tobacco and for youth, bidis and kreteks.
There have been 6 waves of data. All participants from Wave 1 form the Wave 1 Cohort.

At Wave 4, the Wave 1 Cohort was replenished with a sample of adults, youth, and shadow youth ages 10 and 11 at the time of Wave 4.
Wave 4.5 collected data from 12 to 17-year-olds at the time of the Wave 4.5 interview.

Wave 5.5 was a special collection for 13 to 19-year-olds in the Wave 4 Cohort.

Also, in 2020, a subset of adults aged 20 and over were interviewed via PATH-ATS.
