Dear SOL Participants

Dear SOL Participants:
Thank you for having made the Hispanic Community Health Study / Study of Latinos (HCHS / SOL) a major success. With your help we have been able to find out about the factors that influence diseases such as stroke, diabetes, lung and heart diseases in Hispanic. Because your contribution to our understanding of health and illness in the Hispanic community was so successful, the National Institutes of Health has renewed the study. We need your continued support as a valued participant. We would therefore like you to participate in a second visit that will last 3 to 4 hours at no cost and may include health tests such as: Echocardiogram, weight, height and body fast assessment               , blood Pressure, kidney Function Test, blood sugar test for diabetes, health questionnaires, cholesterol test and other blood fats assessment
Call our SOL team at (305) 243- 1828 if you have any questions or to update your contact information. We will contact you by phone at your convenience, to schedule the second SOL visit and to complete your annual follow up interview. Our HCHS/SOL Research Center is located at:  Clinical Research Building 1120 NW 14 Street 7th Floor. Miami, FL 33149
The SOL study continues!
Your participation helps the understanding and improvement of Hispanic/Latino Health
