This study will evaluate two interventions that are designed to reduce asthma morbidity and improve asthma care of children in Head Start in urban Baltimore.
To investigate genetic factors that affect asthma severity.
The goal of this study is to identify the modifying genes and environmental features that regulate the clinical expression of mutations in bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2); to develop the understanding of how BMPR2 mutations result in disease; and to identify the undiscovered genetic mutations that cause primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether functional status improves in individuals with milder obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) following continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment.
To study pre- and post-natal influences on the development of childhood asthma-related immune responses.
To test a conceptual model of how disability develops in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
To develop a clinical prediction rule to identify patients with acute pulmonary embolism who are at very low risk for short-term adverse outcomes.
To study the genetic basis of obstructive sleep apnea using a genealogical approach.
To characterize the development of tobacco control capacity with staff from the Chinese Center's for Disease control (CDCs) at the provincial level and to have them develop and implement population-level interventions to build awareness and knowledge concerning the harms of smoking that could help lead to policy action being taken to protect the population from the harms caused by smoking. Compare capacity, policy and, second-hand smoke exposure and smoking rates in selected provinces to national levels.
