Applying Epidemiologic Methods in the Hispanic Community Health Study - Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) |
|
Date: September 15, 2007 ; 9:00AM - 5:00PM
Location: Marriott Harbor Beach Resort ; Fort Lauderdale, FL
This workshop is now available on demand as a webcast from Clinical Directors Network (CDN) at www.CDNetwork.org and the American College of Epidemiology website at www.acepidemiology2.org
DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKSHOP (workshop agenda)
As part of its mission to increase minority representation in epidemiology and recommend actions to increase epidemiologic research on health concerns of racial/ethnic minority populations, the ACE Minority Affairs Committee has dedicated its all-day scientific workshop this year to introduce the multi-site Hispanic Community Health Study / Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). The HCHS/SOL is a multi-site epidemiologic cohort study of approximately 16,000 Latinos of Cuban, Puerto Rican, Mexican and Central/South American origin which will begin collecting data in Fall 2007. This study is being undertaken by investigators at four centers: San Diego State University, Northwestern University (Chicago), Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University (Bronx), and the University of Miami. Investigators from each of these four Centers along with representatives from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are keynote speakers at our scientific workshop to share newly released data, insights into methodological approaches and the role of epidemiology and minority epidemiologists in this study.
HCHS/SOL goals include studying the prevalence and development of disease in Hispanics/Latinos, the role of acculturation, and the identification of risk factors that play protective or harmful roles in Hispanics/Latinos, using extensive clinical exams, laboratory tests and interviews. This Minority Affairs scientific workshop provides an unique opportunity to learn firsthand the epidemiologic science of working with various Latino subpopulations in the United States as discovered from one of the largest NIH-funded studies of Latinos. This scientific workshop is also an opportunity to learn how ancillary studies connected with this large cohort can be proposed by interested investigators. Join us in learning about innovation and sharing of best epidemiologic practices in the design, conduct and analyses of a historic study of the health of Latino subpopulations in the United States.
