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

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, Full Scale Exam I--Phase III; Type
of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of Information
Collection: The Jackson Heart Study is a prospective epidemiologic
investigation of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) among African-American
adults ages 30 years and older from the Jackson, Mississippi
metropolitan area. The examination phase of the study is scheduled to
begin in the fall of 2000 and will take approximately three years to
complete. An extensive examination is planned and will include a series
of questionnaires (dealing with lifestyle habits, medical history,
medications, social and cultural factors), physical assessments
(height, weight, body size, blood pressure, electrocardiogram,
ultrasound measurements of the heart and arteries in the neck, and lung
function) and laboratory measurements (cholesterol and other lipids,
glucose, indicators related to clotting of the blood, among others).
Data collected in this study will include both conventional risk
factors and new or emerging factors that may be related to CVD. Some of
the newer areas of focus will include early indicators of disease,
genetics, socio-cultural influences such as socioeconomic status and
discrimination, and physiological relations between common disorders
such as high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes and their influence
on CVD. The information collected will be used by the public and
private sector for public health planning, medical education, other
epidemiologic studies, and biomedical research. Frequency of Response:
One-time. Affected Public: Individuals or families; Business or other
for profit; not-for-profit institutions. Type of Respondents: Adults
age 30 years and older, next-of-kin, and physicians.
The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of
Respondents: 2,567. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden Hours Per Response are shown in the table below; and
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 68,658. The annualized
cost to respondents is estimated at: $791,246 consist of their time and
assumes a rate of $11.50 per hour for the cohort and next-of-kin
decedents and $45 per hour for physicians.
