Proposed Collection: Title: Hispanic Community Health Study (HCHS)/ Study of Latinos (SOL). Type of Information Collection Request: New Collection. Need and Use of Information Collection: The Hispanic Community Health Study (HCHS)/ Study of Latinos (SOL) will identify risk factors for cardiovascular and lung disease in Hispanic populations and determine the role of acculturation in the prevalence and development of these diseases. Hispanics, now the largest minority population in the US, 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: 39,844; Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.0; Average Burden Hours Per Response: 1.1; and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 44,688. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at $149,415, assuming respondents time at the rate of $15 per hour and physician time at the rate of $55 per hour. There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance Costs to report.

PROPOSED COLLECTION: Title: The Cardiovascular Health Study. Type of Information Request: Reinstatement. (OMB No. 0925–0334). Need and Use of Information Collection: This study quantifies associations between conventional and hypothetical risk factors and coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke in people age 65 years and older. The primary objectives include quantifying associations of risk factors with subclinical disease; characterizing the natural history of CHD and stroke; and identifying factors associated with clinical course. The findings provide important information on cardiovascular disease in an older U.S. population and lead to early treatment of risk factors associated with disease and identification of factors that may be important in disease prevention. OBM clearance is being sought for data collection activities at only one of the four CHS field centers (the Pittsburgh field center), which are expected to end on May 31, 2008. Other data collection efforts in the CHS cohort are supported by various non-contract funding sources. Frequency of response: twice a year (participants) or once per cardiovascular disease event (proxies and physicians); Affected public: Individuals. Types of Respondents: Individuals recruited for CHS and their selected proxies and physicians. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 556; Estimated Number of Responses per respondent: 1.2; and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 289. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at: $14,450. There are no capital, operating, or maintenance costs to report.
