PATHS

It aims to understand what people think about tobacco and nicotine products, as well as their usage habits. The survey focuses particularly on people with a migration background, who are often underrepresented in studies. It seeks to specifically include these groups in order to gain a more complete picture.

The survey is anonymous and available in twelve languages.

More information about the project: https://communityhealth.ch/paths-en/

Direct access to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/atch

At the beginning of the survey, the language can be selected using the drop-down menu in the top right corner.
