The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health or PATH Study. A collaboration between the National Institutes of Health and Food and Drug Administration.

Many different types of tobacco and nicotine products are now being sold and used.

Since 2013, the NIH, in partnership with the FDA, has conducted the PATH study.

This study helps researchers understand what products people are using and how they affect health over time.

Over 1,000 published research papers reference the PATH study.

Researchers have studied many topics such as youth social media activity related to tobacco brands, oral health and tobacco use, and people's use of e-cigarettes.

The PATH study picked your address by chance.

Tens of thousands of households and individuals have been scientifically selected for and are participating in the PATH study.

One of the most important tobacco and health studies ever done in the United States.

The PATH study needs input from people who use tobacco and nicotine products, and those who do not.

The information we collect is used for research purposes and is kept private.

Each participating household becomes an important part of what is learned about tobacco and nicotine use and health.

Your participation in the PATH study can help improve health for future generations.
