The Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health Study, or Atlantic PATH, is part of the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health (CanPath), the largest study of its kind ever undertaken in Canada.
Atlantic PATH has recruited over 34,000 participants from all four Atlantic Provinces. The biospecimens and information that participants have given will help researchers find out why some people develop certain chronic diseases and others don’t. This information will will help to find new ways of preventing chronic diseases and to diagnose these diseases earlier, when they can be easier to treat.
