Description

The Haiti Cardiovascular Disease (HCVD) Cohort is a longitudinal, community-based cohort study designed to investigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related risk factors among adults living in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. This dataset contains enrollment data collected from March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2021 and was used for a cross-sectional analysis examining the association between depressive symptoms and prevalent cardiovascular disease among urban Haitian adults. The dataset includes demographic and socioeconomic characteristics (age, sex, education, marital status, occupation, and household income); health behaviors (smoking, alcohol use, and physical activity); psychosocial measures including the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Perceived Stress Scale-4 (PSS-4); household food insecurity indicators; anthropometric measurements (height and weight); blood pressure measurements; antihypertensive medication use; and adjudicated cardiovascular disease outcomes. Cardiovascular disease outcomes include angina, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and transient ischemic attack and were classified using epidemiologic definitions and adjudication procedures developed for the HCVD Cohort. The dataset was used to evaluate the association between depressive symptoms and prevalent cardiovascular disease while accounting for demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and psychosocial factors. The data support research on cardiovascular health, mental health, social determinants of health, health disparities, and chronic disease epidemiology in low-resource settings. Files included in this deposit are: (1) a CSV file containing the analytic dataset; (2) a comprehensive data dictionary documenting variable definitions, data types, units of measurement, allowable values, coding schemes, and variable derivations; and (3) an R Markdown (.Rmd) file containing the reproducible analytical workflow used to clean the data, derive study variables, perform statistical analyses, and generate the tables, figures, and results reported in the associated manuscript, “Depressive Symptoms and Association with Prevalent Cardiovascular Disease: A Cross-Sectional Analysis in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.”

'The publication "The Haiti Cardiovascular Disease Cohort: Study Protocol for a Population-Based Longitudinal Cohort" describes the study design, participant recruitment, enrollment procedures, and data collection methodology used for the Haiti Cardiovascular Disease (HCVD) Cohort (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-09734-x). Cardiovascular disease outcomes (angina, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and transient ischemic attack) were adjudicated following enrollment data collection by study physicians.
