H3Africa PHWG Data Collection Toolkit - Cardiovascular Disease v2.0
Description
The Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) toolkit can be used to collect essential phenotypes associated with CVD related research, including; Anthropometrics, CVD History (Angina, Heart Attack, Congestive Heart Failure, Thyroid Disease) and more.
Administration
The phenotype protocols contained in the toolkit range from Interviewer/Self-administered questionnaires to clinically-administered and bioassay/lab-based assessments. The module is applicable to human participants of all life stages, though some phenotype protocols are age-specific. For more information on administration of the toolkit, see the toolkit guideline.
