Filter by:The Community Organizing Network for Environmental Health is a part of Community Action Against Asthma (CAAA), which, in turn is a part of the Michigan Center for the Environment and Children's Health. It is a community-based intervention research partnership between the University of Michigan, community-based organizations, and health care institutions in Detroit.
This study surveys the parents/guardians about symptoms and diagnosis of asthma in kindergarten and first-grade students in 13 schools around the city of Anchorage, Alaska. Traffic information is also measured and entered in geographical information mapping system with student's home and school locations. The study will assess whether students living in high traffic areas have greater risk of diagnosis of asthma.
To examine possible relationships between antibiotic use, as determined by prescriptions filled, and asthma in children ages 6 to 7.
To determine lung airway responses following chlorine gas exposure.
To investigate the relationship of childhood lifestyle and physical characteristics to prevalent asthma.
To examine whether or not primary school-aged children with asthma from low-income households have lower household environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure than matched control children.
This study will assess clinical efficacy and/or adverse effects of dietary borage oil (which contains gamma-linolenic acid [GLA]) and Ginkgo biloba in patients with mild persistent to moderate asthma.
Asthma currently affects an estimated 15 million Americans. A number of studies have found an association between low dietary magnesium (Mg) intake and increased asthma incidence and severity of symptoms. However, clinical intervention trials are necessary to directly assess whether there is a true protective or preventative causal relationship between low Mg and asthma. In our study, we will assess the effects of 6 1/2 months of oral Mg supplements or placebo on clinical markers of asthma control, indirect biomarkers of inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and indices of oxidative defense and damage in subjects with mild to moderate persistent asthma.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate an investigational medication to treat chronic persistent asthma. The research is being conducted at up to 22 clinical research sites in the US and is open to both men and women ages 18 to 70 years old. Participants in the study will have a number of visits to a research site over a 10-month period. All study-related care and medication is provided to qualified participants at no cost: this includes all visits, examinations and laboratory work.
