STRONG HEART STUDY (SHS)- FIELD CENTER, TASK ORDER 001

强心脏研究（SHS）是一项纵向观察性研究，包括两个前瞻性联合队列：1989年至1991年招募的原始SHS队列和1998年至1999年招募的强心脏家族研究（SHFS）队列。原始队列和家庭队列共同构成了美洲原住民/美洲印第安人心血管疾病（CVD）的最大、多中心、前瞻性流行病学研究。该研究的主要目的是检查美洲原住民/美洲印第安人心血管疾病的病因学和自然史。这项研究涉及与居住在亚利桑那州、俄克拉荷马州和达科他州的12个部落国家的合作。

The Strong Heart Study (SHS) is a longitudinal observational study of two combined cohorts followed prospectively: the original SHS cohort recruited in 1989 to 1991 and a Strong Heart Family Study (SHFS) cohort recruited in 1998 to 1999. The original and family cohorts together form the largest, multicenter, prospective epidemiological study of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Native Americans/ American Indians. The study’s main objective is to examine the etiology and natural history of cardiovascular disease in Native Americans/American Indians. The study involves a partnership with 12 Tribal Nations who live in Arizona, Oklahoma, and the Dakotas.
