Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or treatment with a real mD. We are not doctors. Always consult your doctor about Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted 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 many of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, 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 have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Geographic Modeling of Traffic and Asthma Rates condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, healthcare dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

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.
