OMB approval is provided for sample replenishment as well as data collection for Wave 4 of the PATH Study. A separate three-year clearance request will be submitted for subsequent waves, which may focus on selected subsamples. The revision will describe the response rate and characteristics of the sample replenishment. NIDA, FDA, and the PATH Study team will work together with OMB to ensure there is no duplication in the type of information generated by the PATH Study and other information collections, such as the recently-approved collection requests for FDAâs CTP.

This is a revision request (OMB number 0925-0664, expiration date 8/31/2018) for the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study to conduct the fourth wave of data collection. The PATH Study is collecting behavioral data and biospecimens among a national longitudinal cohort 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 FDAâs regulatory actions under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA) to protect the Nationâs public health and reduce its burden of tobacco-related morbidity and mortality.
