Applications for both PATH workshops are due June 29, 2026.
This workshop will utilize hands-on examples to better understand the PATH Study sample design and weighting. Specifically, attendees will gain a better understanding of how to conduct longitudinal analyses to estimate change over time, as well as pseudo-cross-sectional analyses to estimate prevalence.
This workshop will focus on understanding and using the PATH Study data files, not on a specific analytic approach. The workshop will combine lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises. This workshop will only be offered virtually.
The course is designed for academic faculty, research professionals, and graduate students interested in tobacco regulatory science and/or prevention/translation research. Participants should be comfortable with data analysis software and quantitative research methods. This workshop will be most useful to analysts who do not have previous experience using PATH Study data for longitudinal analyses, though all are welcome. All exercises will include example code for SAS, Stata, and R statistical software. The workshop will include two days of instruction and exercises. The content and exercises from this workshop are similar to those from previous summer workshops that used the PATH Study data.
