The findings provide important information on subclinical CVD in individuals of different ethnic backgrounds and provide information for studies on new interventions to prevent CVD. The aspects of the study that concern direct participant evaluation received a clinical exemption from OMB clearance (CE–99–11–08) in April 2000. OMB clearance is being sought for the contact of physicians and participant proxies to obtain information about clinical CVD events Estimated number of respondents Type of respondents that participants experience during the follow-up period. Frequency of response: Once per CVD event. Affected public: Individuals. Types of Respondents: Physicians and selected proxies of individuals recruited for MESA. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 74; Estimated Number of Responses per respondent: 1.0; Average Burden Hours Per Response: 0.20; and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 14.7.
