Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, calls or treatment using a real mD. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician on Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates Clinical research trials and Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates healthcare trials happen in a lot of of localities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the potency of new drugs. The aim of the studies / undertakings is to answer particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all kinds of circumstances, such as Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates. Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to get healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the general public. Most times the participants receive treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates clinical trial. Human subjects often receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and may include more or frequent dr. calls, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates



Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates

For Condition: Asthma
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) ,
Synopsis: 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.
Details: Survey was distributed through the schools. Parents/guardians were asked about indoor exposures such as environmental tobacco smoke, insects, mold, woodstoves, as well as demographic information about the child and housing type, income,also biologic information about parental asthma. Questions included symptoms of respiratory illness as well as wheezing and medication use. Civil engineering department measured traffic on local roadways and gathered traffic information from state and municipal sources regarding traffic on arterioles and major traffic arteries. All information was entered into geographical information system (GIS) including the closest cross-streets to the child's home and the school location. Traffic exposure variables are being developed for each child and will be added to the database on indoor exposures. A regression model will be used to determine the significance of traffic exposure in receiving a diagnosis of asthma for children five to seven years of age.
