杰克逊心脏研究(JHS)是对来自杰克逊的5300名非裔美国人的心血管疾病(CVD)原因的单一现场调查。JHS成立于1998年，是杰克逊地区三个学术机构共同努力的结果。到2013年5月当前合同结束时，联合保健中心将完成三项背靠背队列检查，这些检查产生了关于传统和可能的心血管疾病风险因素、社会经济和社会文化因素和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、心脏、主动脉和腹部的计算机断层扫描对亚临床疾病的测量；以及储存的生物样本。80%的JHS参与者完成了考试2；预计考试3的保留率为86%。此外，JHS每年对感兴趣的事件临床事件进行队列跟踪接触，开展各种社区教育和外展活动，以促进健康的生活方式以减少疾病风险负担，并举办适当的培训计划，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。 这项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，与JHS队列参与者保持联系；向密西西比州杰克逊社区提供公共卫生信息，并提供培训/教育资源，以鼓励少数族裔学生成为公共卫生/流行病学调查人员。

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.
