Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study [United States] Public-Use Files

The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study began originally surveying 45,971 adult and youth respondents. The PATH Study was launched in 2011 to inform Food and Drug Administration's regulatory activities under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA). The PATH Study is a collaboration between the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study sampled over 150,000 mailing addresses across the United States to create a national sample of tobacco users and non-users. 45,971 adults and youth constitute the first (baseline) wave of data collected by this longitudinal cohort study. These 45,971 adults and youth along with 7,207 "shadow youth" (youth ages 9 to 11 sampled at Wave 1) make up the 53,178 participants that constitute the Wave 1 Cohort. Respondents are asked to complete an interview at each follow-up wave. Youth who turn 18 by the current wave of data collection are considered "aged-up adults" and are invited to complete the Adult Interview. Additionally, "shadow youth" are considered "aged-up youth" upon turning 12 years old, when they are asked to complete an interview after parental consent. At Wave 4, a probability sample of 14,098 adults, youth, and shadow youth ages 10 to 11 was selected from the civilian, noninstitutionalized population at the time of Wave 4. This sample was recruited from residential addresses not selected for Wave 1 in the same sampled Primary Sampling Unit (PSU)s and segments using similar within-household sampling procedures. This "replenishment sample" was combined for estimation and analysis purposes with Wave 4 adult and youth respondents from the Wave 1 Cohort who were in the civilian, noninstitutionalized population at the time of Wave 4. This combined set of Wave 4 participants, 52,731 participants in total, forms the Wave 4 Cohort.Dataset 0001 (DS0001) contains the data from the Master Linkage file. This file contains 14 variables and 67,276 cases. The file provides a master list of every person's unique identification number and what type of respondent they were for each wave. Dataset 1001 (DS1001) contains the data from the Wave 1 Adult Questionnaire. This data file contains 1,732 variables and 32,320 cases. Each of the cases represents a single, completed interview. Dataset 1002 (DS1002) contains the data from the Youth and Parent Questionnaire. This file contains 1,228 variables and 13,651 cases.Dataset 2001 (DS2001) contains the data from the Wave 2 Adult Questionnaire. This data file contains 2,197 variables and 28,362 cases. Of these cases, 26,447 also completed a Wave 1 Adult Questionnaire. The other 1,915 cases are "aged-up adults" having previously completed a Wave 1 Youth Questionnaire. Dataset 2002 (DS2002) contains the data from the Wave 2 Youth and Parent Questionnaire. This data file contains 1,389 variables and 12,172 cases. Of these cases, 10,081 also completed a Wave 1 Youth Questionnaire. The other 2,091 cases are "aged-up youth" having previously been sampled as "shadow youth." Dataset 3001 (DS3001) contains the data from the Wave 3 Adult Questionnaire. This data file contains 2,139 variables and 28,148 cases. Of these cases, 26,241 are continuing adults having completed a prior Adult Questionnaire. The other 1,907 cases are "aged-up adults" having previously completed a Youth Questionnaire. Dataset 3002 (DS3002) contains the data from the Wave 3 Youth and Parent Questionnaire. This data file contains 1,309 variables and 11,814 cases. Of these cases, 9,769 are continuing youth having completed a prior Youth Interview. The other 2,045 cases are "aged-up youth" having previously been sampled as "shadow youth." Datasets 3101, 3102, 3201 and 3202 (DS3101, DS3102, DS3201, and DS3202) are data files comprising the weight variables for Wave 3. The weight variables for Wave 1 and Wave 2 are included in the main data files. However, in Wave 3, the weight variables have been separated into individual data files for Adult and Youth Questionnaires. The "all-waves" weight files contain weights for those respondents who have completed an interview during all three waves of data collection. The "single-wave" weight files contain weights for all respondents in Wave 3 regardless of their participation in previous waves. Da

《烟草与健康人口评估》（PATH）研究最初对45,971名成年人和青少年受访者进行了调查。该研究于2011年启动，旨在为食品药品监督管理局（FDA）在《家庭吸烟预防与烟草控制法案》（TCA）下的监管活动提供信息。PATH研究是由国家药物滥用研究所（NIDA）、国家卫生研究院（NIH）和食品药品监督管理局（FDA）下属的烟草产品中心（CTP）共同合作进行的。研究通过对美国超过150,000个邮寄地址进行抽样，构建了一个全国性的烟草使用者和非使用者样本。构成该纵向队列研究首次（基线）数据收集的45,971名成年人和青少年，以及7,207名“影子青少年”（在第一波中抽样的9至11岁青少年）共同组成了53,178名参与者的Wave 1队列。受访者被要求在每个后续波次中完成访谈。在当前数据收集波次中达到18岁的青少年被视为“成年化青少年”，并被邀请完成成人访谈。此外，“影子青少年”在12岁时也被视为“成年化青少年”，在获得家长同意后，他们需要完成访谈。在Wave 4中，从Wave 4时的平民、非机构化人群中随机抽取了14,098名成年人、青少年和10至11岁的“影子青少年”作为样本。此样本是从未在Wave 1中选中的相同抽样初级抽样单位（PSU）和段落的住宅地址中招募的，并采用了类似的户内抽样程序。这个“补充样本”与Wave 4队列中的成年人、青少年受访者合并，以用于估计和分析。总计52,731名参与者组成了Wave 4队列。Dataset 0001（DS0001）包含主链接文件的数据。此文件包含14个变量和67,276个案例。该文件提供了每个人的唯一识别号码以及他们每个波次所代表的受访者类型的主列表。Dataset 1001（DS1001）包含Wave 1成人问卷的数据。此数据文件包含1,732个变量和32,320个案例。每个案例代表一次完成的访谈。Dataset 1002（DS1002）包含青少年和家长问卷的数据。此文件包含1,228个变量和13,651个案例。Dataset 2001（DS2001）包含Wave 2成人问卷的数据。此数据文件包含2,197个变量和28,362个案例。其中26,447个案例也完成了Wave 1成人问卷。其他1,915个案例是之前已完成Wave 1青少年问卷的“成年化成年人”。Dataset 2002（DS2002）包含Wave 2青少年和家长问卷的数据。此数据文件包含1,389个变量和12,172个案例。其中10,081个案例也完成了Wave 1青少年问卷。其他2,091个案例是之前作为“影子青少年”抽样的“成年化青少年”。Dataset 3001（DS3001）包含Wave 3成人问卷的数据。此数据文件包含2,139个变量和28,148个案例。其中26,241个案例是继续完成先前成人问卷的成年人。其他1,907个案例是之前已完成青少年问卷的“成年化成年人”。Dataset 3002（DS3002）包含Wave 3青少年和家长问卷的数据。此数据文件包含1,309个变量和11,814个案例。其中9,769个案例是继续完成先前青少年访谈的青少年。其他2,045个案例是之前作为“影子青少年”抽样的“成年化青少年”。3101、3102、3201和3202（DS3101、DS3102、DS3201和DS3202）数据文件包含了Wave 3的权重变量。Wave 1和Wave 2的权重变量包含在主数据文件中。然而，在Wave 3中，权重变量已被分离成针对成人问卷和青少年问卷的独立数据文件。所有波次的权重文件包含在所有三个数据收集波次中完成访谈的受访者的权重。单波次权重文件包含Wave 3中所有受访者的权重，无论他们是否参与了之前的波次。
