Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; The Jackson Heart Study 

(JHS) 

Summary: In compliance with the 

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects, the 

National Heart, Lung, and Blood 

Institute (NHLBI), the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish 

periodic summaries of proposed 

projects to be submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. 

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) 0.21; 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.
