 is a research platform that is part of the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow’s 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’s 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
