Declarations
:
: Data collection for NHANES was approved by the National Center for Health Statistics. Research Ethics Review Board. All participants provided written informed consent prior to participation. The Office of Regulatory Affairs and Research Compliance (ORARC) for the Harvard Longwood Medical Area research community (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Harvard Faculty of Medicine) does not require Institutional Review Board (IRB) review/oversight for analysis of de-identified public data sets. Investigators are permitted to make a self-determination in these instances. However, I have consulted with the IRB to confirm and can provide that documentation, if needed.
: Not applicable.
