Summary View help for Summary

This project expands on the Chicago Community Adult Health Study (CCAHS) about individual and social environmental influences on health. The CCAHS surveyed Chicago adults, including measurements of height, weight, waist, hip length, and blood pressure, in addition to saliva and/or blood samples. It also used old and collected new archival data on sampling areas, and carried out Systematic Social Observations of 1,664 city blocks. The current project collects new data on residential and social contexts, and begins to convert the existing cross-sectional study into a longitudinal study via respondent tracking and mortality follow-up. It lays the foundation for a second wave of data collection in 2008-2009.
