Community Based Prevention/Control Project Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified medical advice, visits or professional assistance with a genuine dr.. We are not doctors. Always consult your mD about Community Based Prevention/Control Project conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Community Based Prevention/Control Project Clinical research trials and Community Based Prevention/Control Project medical trials take place in many of places throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectiveness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to find cures for all varieties of conditions, like Community Based Prevention/Control Project. Community Based Prevention/Control Project Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to have health treatment options before they are available to the masses. Many times the human subjects acquire professional assistance for free of charge, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Community Based Prevention/Control Project clinical trial. Test subjects typically obtain the finest healthcare available for their Community Based Prevention/Control Project condition. Dangers are a reality, nevertheless, and might include additional or frequent doctor trips, medical dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Community Based Prevention/Control Project



Community Based Prevention/Control Project

For Condition: Poisoning
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) , Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Synopsis: This project is aimed at better understanding how children living in agricultural environments are exposed to pesticides, and how such exposures can be prevented or reduced. The project will develop and implement a community-wide intervention to reduce the transfer of pesticides from the workplace to the home (take home pathway).
Details: This project is aimed at better understanding how children living in agricultural environments are exposed to pesticides, and how such exposures can be prevented or reduced. Since 1991 our group has investigated pesticide expsoures among children of agricultural families in Washington state, focusing on exposure to organophosphate insecticides. We have demonstrated in these studies that the residential environments of agricultural families have higher pesticide residues than do other homes in this region. We have also found that children living in these residential environments have elevated levels of pesticide metabolites in their urine. We need to better understand how these children are being exposed in order to develop recomendations for exposure prevention or reduction. The current project will develop and implement a community-wide intervention to reduce the transfer of pesticides from the workplace to the home (take home pathway). A complementary project is also underway by the UW-Child Health Center to characterize pesticide exposure pathways for children of farmworkers.
