Hispanic Community Health Study - Study of Latinos
The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) is a prospective, population-based cohort study of 16,415 Hispanics/Latino adults (ages 18-74 years) who were selected using a two-stage probability sampling design from four US communities (Chicago, IL; Miami, FL; Bronx, NY; San Diego, CA) (PMID: 20609344; PMID: 20609343). During the enrollment phase, standardized clinical visits were conducted during 2008-2011 at dedicated study field centers by bilingual interviewers and medical technicians. Data collection followed a uniform protocol implemented in the four field centers, overseen by a Coordinating Center, Central Laboratory, and specialized Reading Centers.
