weighting class methods will be used to adjust adult raked weights
for the adults who provided each type of biospecimen so that the

This is a revision request (OMB
0925-0664, expires 9/30/2016) for the Population Assessment of
Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study to conduct the third wave of data
collection. The PATH Study is a national longitudinal cohort study
of tobacco use behavior and health among the U.S. household
population of adults age 18 and older and youth ages 12 to 17. The
Study conducts annual interviews and collects biospecimens from
adults to assess within-person changes and between-person
differences in tobacco-product use behaviors and related health
conditions over time. Its longitudinal, population-based data will
help to enhance the evidence base that informs the Food and Drug
Administration's regulatory actions under the Family Smoking
Prevention and Control Act to protect the Nation's public health
and reduce its burden of tobacco-related morbidity and
mortality.
