聽is a research platform that is part of the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow鈥檚 Health (CanPath) project which involves six cohorts in nine provinces. Between 2009-2015, CanPath recruited and collected data from over 300,000 Canadians (>34,000 Atlantic Canadians) to examine the complex interplay of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that lead to the development of cancer and other chronic diseases.
Between 2016-2019 participants were invited to complete the first follow-up questionnaire. More than 21,000 Atlantic PATH participants completed the follow-up questionnaire. That data underwent a harmonization process across all the cohorts and is now available to researchers.
The questionnaire seeks information about a person鈥檚 health that may have changed since the first time they provided information.
The follow-up dataset includes the following:
- Demographic
- Health status
- Medical history
- Prescribed medication
- Family health history
- Behaviours (sleep, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana use, and e-cigarette use)
- Working status
- Household income
- Anthropometric measurements
