- Follow Up
- Target follow-up intervals of 3-5 years. ATP aims to conduct active follow-ups by requesting additional questionnaire data, physical measurements and/or biological samples every 4 years for at least 50 years. Passive follow-ups are also possible for ATP participants by linking ATP cohort data to health care databases and disease registries, such as the Alberta Cancer Registry.
