these diseases. Hispanics, now the
largest minority population in the U.S.,
are influenced by factors associated
with immigration from different cultural
settings and environments, including
changes in diet, activity, community
support, working conditions, and health
care access. This project is a
multicenter, six-and-a-half year
epidemiologic study and will recruit
16,000 Hispanic men and women aged
18–74 in four community-based cohorts
in Chicago, Miami, San Diego, and the
Bronx. The study will also examine
measures of obesity, physical activity,
nutritional habits, diabetes, lung and
sleep function, cognitive function,
hearing, and dental conditions. Closely
integrated with the research component
will be a community and professional
education component, with the goals of
bringing the research results back to the
community, improving recognition and
control of risk factors, and attracting and
training Hispanic researchers in
epidemiology and population-based
research. Frequency of Response: The
participants will be contacted annually.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Businesses or other for
profit; Small businesses or
organizations. Type of Respondents:
Individuals or households; physicians.
The annual reporting burden is as
follows: Estimated Number of
Respondents: 10,801; Estimated Number
of Responses per Respondent: 1.0;
Average Burden Hours Per Response:
3.6; and Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours Requested: 38,401. The
annualized cost to respondents is
estimated at $506,613, assuming
respondents time at the rate of $13 per
hour and physician time at the rate of
$50 per hour. There are no Capital Costs
to report. There are no Operating or
Maintenance Costs to report.
