Congratulations to SOL participants!

The Hispanic Community Health Study / Study of Latinos (HCHS /SOL) has reached the end of its recruitment phase with over 16,000 participants, nationally. Here in Chicago, Northwestern University completed its quota of 4,000 participants. Congratulations!
The SOL study will provide information about the health status and disease burden of Hispanics/ Latinos, their nutritional practices and the role of acculturation on lifestyle and health. Surely, these findings will help to the Latino community and future generations in the planning and development of health programs as well as the delivery of quality medical care.
Now, the study continues with annual follow-up interviews that will be conducted throughout the study to determine health outcomes. Finally, study participants are encouraged to continue their participation and to maintain contact with the study staff.

Last Chance

This is it Chicago! This is your last chance to be a part of History and participate in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. If you live in the Albany Park and Irving Park communities, identify as Hispanic/Latino, and are between the ages of 18-74 you may be eligible to participate in our study. If you get a letter in the mail or a visit from one of our recruiters, please consider the invitation to make a difference in the health of your community and participate!
