Study (JHS)
Summary: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute (NHLBI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for
review and approval the information collection listed below. This
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal
Register on January 13, 2010, page 1789, and allowed 60 days for public
comment. No comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to
allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes
of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not
required to respond to, an information collection that has been
extended, revised, or implemented
[[Page 17745]]
on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: The Jackson Heart Study: Annual Follow-
up with Third Party Respondents. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently approved collection (OMB No. 0925-
0491). Need and Use of Information Collection: This project involves
contacting next-of-kin and family physicians of deceased participants
who were part of the Jackson Heart Study exam. Interviewers will
contact doctors and hospitals to ascertain participants' cardiovascular
events. Information gathered will be used to further describe the risk
factors, occurrence rates, and consequences of cardiovascular disease
in African American men and women. Recruitment of 5,500 JHS
participants began in September 2000 and was completed in March 2004.
5,302 participants completed a baseline Exam 1 that included
demographics, psychosocial inventories, medical history, anthropometry,
resting and ambulatory blood pressure, phlebotomy and 24-hour urine
collection, ECG, echocardiography, and pulmonary function. JHS Exam 2
began September 26, 2005, followed by a more comprehensive Exam 3 that
began in February 2009. The two new exams include some repeated
measures from Exam 1 and several new components, including distribution
of self-monitoring blood pressure devices. The continuation of the
study allows continued assessment of subclinical coronary disease, left
ventricular dysfunction, progression of carotid atherosclerosis and
left ventricular hypertrophy, and responses to stress, racism, and
discrimination as well as new components such as renal disease, body
fat distribution and body composition, and metabolic consequences of
obesity.
Frequency of Response: One-time. Affected Public: Individuals or
households; businesses or other for profit; not-for-profit
institutions. Type of Respondents: Adults; doctors and staff of
hospitals and nursing homes. The annual reporting burden is as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents: 400; Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.0; Average Burden Hours per Response: (84 hours/400
respondents) 0.20; and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested:
84. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at $3,760, assuming
$15 per burden hour for informants and $65 per burden hour for
physicians. There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no
Operating or Maintenance Costs to report.
