杰克逊心脏研究（JHS）是一项针对5300名来自密西西比州杰克逊的非裔美国人心血管疾病（CVD）原因的单点调查。JHS于1998年由杰克逊地区的三家学术机构共同发起。在2013年5月当前合同结束时，JHS将完成三个背对队列检查，这些检查产生了关于传统和假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的广泛纵向数据；通过超声心动图、心脏磁共振成像（MRI）、计算机断层扫描（CT）对心脏、主动脉和腹部进行亚临床疾病的测量；并储存了生物样本。80%的JHS参与者完成了测试2；预计第三门考试的保留率是86%。此外，JHS还对相关的临床事件进行了年度队列跟踪联系，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，并开展了适当级别的培训计划，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。

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.
