JHS代表了杰克逊社区动脉粥样硬化风险研究中心（ARIC）的扩展，以扩大非洲裔美国人的数据收集，增加非洲裔美国人和科学家在生物医学研究和专业领域的机会和参与。最初共有15,792人接受了ARIC检查，其中3,732人在杰克逊站点注册。当JHS开始时，它邀请了所有以前的杰克逊ARIC参与者，年龄大约在59到78岁之间，以及来自杰克逊更大地理区域的年轻和年长的非裔美国人居民参加新的队列研究。由于JHS与ARIC共享队列成员，这两项研究通过JHS协调中心向北卡罗来纳大学ARIC协调中心的分包合同，在数据分析和两个队列成员的事件验证方面相互合作。

The JHS represents an expansion of the Jackson Field Center of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, to broaden data collection in an African American population and to increase access to and the participation of African American populations and scientists in biomedical research and professions. A total of 15,792 individuals were initially examined for ARIC, of which 3,732 were enrolled at the Jackson site. When the JHS began, it invited all previous Jackson ARIC participants, who were approximately 59 to 78 years of age, along with younger and older African American residents from a larger Jackson geographic area, to participate in the new cohort study. Due to JHS¿ shared cohort membership with ARIC, the two studies cooperate with each other in data analysis and on events validation for members of the two cohorts through a subcontract from the JHS Coordinating Center to the ARIC Coordinating Center at the University of North Carolina.
