IGF::OT::IGFHISPANIC COMMUNITY HEALTH STUDY - STUDY OF LATINOS (HCHS-SOL) - FIELD CENTER

该合同将西班牙裔社区健康研究-拉丁裔研究（HCHSSOL）从2013年6月1日延长至2019年5月31日。更新HCHS - SOL的科学目的是：(1)确定西班牙裔美国人中高度流行的疾病和病症的推定原因（如糖尿病、左心室肥厚和妊娠糖尿病）；(2)描述与移民、文化适应和在美国生活时间长短相关的健康相关风险和保护因素的转变；(3)评估社会经济因素、文化价值观、风险行为和医疗服务可及性的变化对西班牙裔美国人健康的影响。

This contract will extend the Hispanic Community Health Study – Study of Latinos (HCHSSOL) from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2019. The scientific aims of the renewal of the HCHS‐SOL are to: (1) identify putative causes for diseases and conditions highly prevalent in Hispanics (e.g. diabetes, , left ventricular hypertrophy, and gestational diabetes mellitus); (2) describe the transformation of health‐related risk and protective factors related to migration, acculturation, and length of time living in the U.S.; and (3) assess the impact of changes in socioeconomic factors, cultural values, risk behaviors, and medical care access on health in Hispanics. The aims stated above will be accomplished through contracts by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) with four Field Centers, one Coordinating Center and an Echocardiography Reading Center. The Coordinating Center will provide the services for a Central Laboratory as needed. Study protocols will be directed by a Steering Committee consisting of the Principal Investigator of each Field Center, the Coordinating Center, the Echocardiogram Reading Center and the NHLBI Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). Offerors will submit a proposal based on their assessment of the optimal methods. However, after award, standardized protocols will be established by the study Steering Committee, which may be similar or different from those proposed by individual Offerors.
