THE ASTHMA PROJECT
LaGuardia Community College is conducting an asthma assessment and prevention project in Elmhurst, Queens and Parkchester, the Bronx. This study is being offered in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency, an agency of the federal government. In addition, neighborhood hospitals are also supporting LaGuardia’s efforts.
This initiative involves conducting an assessment of the home environment and providing individuals with educational information on how to minimize or eliminate asthma home environmental triggers such as pests, dust mites, secondhand smoke, molds, and household cleaning products. Six months after the initial visit, a Master Home Environmentalist will conduct a follow-up visit to evaluate the effectiveness of asthma education in decreasing the occurrence of asthma symptoms.
Currently, we are recruiting individuals with asthma.
