杰克逊心脏研究（JHS）是一项对来自密西西比州杰克逊的5300名非洲裔美国人的心血管疾病（CVD）原因进行的单点调查。JHS于1998年启动，是杰克逊地区三个学术机构的合作成果。在2013年5月当前合同结束时，JHS将完成三项背靠背队列检查，这些检查产生了关于传统和推定的心血管疾病风险因素、社会经济和社会文化因素以及生化分析物的广泛纵向数据;通过超声心动图、心脏磁共振成像（MRI）、心脏、主动脉和腹部计算机断层扫描（CT）测量亚临床疾病;和储存的生物样本百分之八十的JHS参与者完成了考试2;预计保留考试3是86%。此外，JHS还对感兴趣的临床事件进行了年度队列随访联系，开展了各种社区教育和外展活动，以促进健康的生活方式，减少疾病风险负担，并开展了适当的培训计划，以促进和支持本科生，高中生和卫生专业人员的公共卫生研究。 该服务要求是继续收集杰克逊心脏研究（JHS）队列参与者的发病率和死亡率数据，保持与JHS队列参与者的联系;为密西西比杰克逊社区提供公共卫生信息，并提供培训/教育资源，以鼓励少数民族学生成为公共卫生/流行病学调查员。 尼加拉瓜排雷研究所为该项目提供了共同资金。

The Jackson Heart Study (JHS) is a single site investigation of causes of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in 5300 African-Americans from Jackson, MS. The JHS was initiated in 1998 as a collaborative effort among three Jackson-area academic institutions. At the close of the current contracts in May 2013, the JHS will have completed three back-to-back cohort examinations that have produced extensive longitudinal data on traditional and putative CVD risk factors, socioeconomic and sociocultural factors and biochemical analytes; measures of subclinical disease from echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scans of the heart, aorta and abdomen; and stored biological samples. Eighty percent of the JHS participants completed Exam 2; projected retention for Exam 3 is 86%. In addition, the JHS has conducted annual cohort follow-up contacts for incident clinical events of interest, a variety of community education and outreach activities to promote healthy lifestyles to reduce disease risk burden, and level-appropriate training programs to promote and support public health research for undergraduates, high school students, and health professionals. This service requirement is to continue the collection of morbidity and mortality data of the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) cohort participants, maintain contact with the JHS cohort participants; provide the Jackson, Mississippi community with public health information and to provide a training/educational resource to encourage minority students to become public health/epidemiology investigators. NIMHD provided co-funding for this project.
