Definición

  • The Physicians' Health Study (PHS) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that was initially designed as a cohort study to test the effect of two medications: (1) the effect of aspirin on mortality due to cardiovascular disease and (2) the effect of beta-carotene on reducing the incidence of cancer. The initial planning for the PHS began in 1978, with Phase One (PHS-I) beginning in 1982 and ending in 1995. [Source: Encyclopedia of Epidemiology; Physicians' Health Study]
