Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This project will compare the health effects of public housing renovation, neighborhood built and social environment improvements, and indoor air purification, alone and in combination, as well as the cost effectiveness of each approach.

STUDY 1: The study will assess the effects of public housing and neighborhood environment (built and social) improvements on health-related behaviors, psychosocial and physiologic stress, and self-reported and physiological markers of lung health and chronic disease.

STUDY 2: The study will determine whether indoor air purification can positively impact lung health in public housing sites not undergoing housing renovation, comparing a site near industrial pollution vs one less contaminated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will complete surveys, physical exam, lung function tests, and blood draw. An indoor air purifier with a usage tracker and an indoor air quality monitor will be provided, and used filters will be analyzed.
