- Shared Documents
- STUDY PROTOCOL, ICF
- Time Frame
- Data are currently available for exams 1, 2 and 3 and for cardiovascular events through 12/31/2016 and mortality through 12/31/2019. Data will be available indefinitely.
- Access Criteria
- Data can accessed from JHS with approved manuscript proposals and from dbGaP and BIOLINCC.
The JHS adheres to NIH and NHLBI policies for data sharing of epidemiologic studies. Data from each cycle of an examination or follow-up component are prepared by the JHS Coordinating Center and sent to the NHLBI PO for distribution as a data set after the completion of each examination or two years after the baseline, follow-up, genetic, ancillary study, or other data set is finalized within the study for analysis for use in publication. De-identified data from Exams 1, 2 and 3 of the JHS are available and shared commonly through the JHS processes for presentation and publication and ancillary studies. Public datasets for Exam 1, Exam 2, and Exam 3 have been provided to BioLINCC and dbGaP.
