Description
Abstract Text
The objective of this contract is to conduct a population-based case-
control study to evaluate the relative and attributable risks of first
episodes of fatal and non-fatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and
stroke for users of oral contraceptives (OCs). Areas of interest include
investigation of the risks among users of OC preparations containing less-
than or equal-to 50ug estrogen, for those preparations containing the least
estrogen and for the combined effects of smoking, age, and other risk
factors for cardiovascular disease. The offeror proposes to make use of a
case-ascertainment network including acute care hospitals, emergency
medical services, physicians, paramedics and county medical examiners in
King, Snohomish and Pierce Counties in Washington State. It is estimated
that 150 cases of AMI, 175 cases of stroke and 580 controls will be
identified over a 40-month data collection period.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
