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 third visit
that will last about 3 hours at no cost. Please
note, the length of your visit may be extended if you chose to participate in
any of our available ancillary studies for which you are eligible.
The third clinic visit will include health tests such as:
• Blood Pressure
• Blood sugar test for diabetes
• Cholesterol
test and other blood fats assessment
• Weight,
height and body fat assessment
• Kidney
Function Test
• Health Questionnaires
You
will receive a monetary incentive$ 100 the day of your visit to compensate for
your time and the results of your health tests will be provided to you and your doctor with your
permission.
Transportation
will be provided depending upon your current location. We are located
in the same place of your previous SOL visit at 1120 NW 14 Street 7th floor
Miami, FL.
Please call us to
schedule your appointment now at
305-243-1828 or 305-243-7734
