Current and Archived Visit Documents

We make our clinic visit documents publicly available, going all the way back to the start of ARIC. These tables also serve as a quick visual reference as to what study aspects were recorded when, from visit to visit. Please see our Project Overview page for corresponding visit dates.

For archived visits, the QxQ documents are included within the form file as one PDF. Code Books are released when the visit is closed.

Endpoint surveillance documents for the cohort and community study are on our Surveillance Data Collection page.

You can left click the individual Visit columns to sort by documents used at that visit. Right clicking the Visit column will collapse and reopen it.
