Previous terms
continue: This approval covers Wave 2 of PATH. A full revision is
necessary for the collection of Wave 3 data. Before submitting the
information collection request for Wave 3 to OMB, NIDA/FDA should
report to OMB regarding: a) the response rates associated with the
full baseline wave, including screening, interview completion, and
bio-specimen response; b) Wave 2 retention, recruitment rates for
the “age in to adult” and “age in of shadow” subsamples; c) the
results of nonresponse analysis and statistical approach for
addressing non-response, as well as implications for the study
going forward; and d) the statistical approach to be applied to the
bio-specimen data to address potential non-response bias from lower
consent and cooperation rates with this aspect of the study. Per
prior terms of clearance, NIDA and FDA will create a public use
dataset from each wave’s data, making it available to the public
on-line within 18 months of completion of each wave. Data
underlying government-funded scientific publications will be made
available to the public, consistent with NIH guidelines for
implementing OSTP’s Public Access to the Results of Federally
Funded Research. This study is not specifically designed to provide
nationally representative estimates of prevalence. As such, FDA and
NIDA will always present such cross-sectional prevalence estimates
in conjunction with estimates from HHS’ signature nationally
representative studies such as CPS-TUPS, NHIS, NATS, and
NSDUH.

This is a revision request (OMB
0925-0664, expires 11/30/2015) for the Population Assessment of
Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study to conduct the second wave of data
collection. The PATH Study is a national longitudinal cohort study
on tobacco use behavior, attitudes, and health among the U.S.
household population of adults age 18 and older and youth ages 12
to 17. The PATH Study conducts annual interviews and collects
biospecimens from adults to measure and report within-person
changes and between-person differences in tobacco product use
behaviors, attitudes, and health effects within the cohort over
time. Data from the PATH Study will enhance the knowledge base that
informs FDA's regulatory decisions and actions under the 2009
Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA). The TCA
authorized FDA to regulate tobacco products, including
tobacco-product advertising, labeling, marketing, constituents,
ingredients, and additives.
