How can we help you?

We will try to improve your child's breathing by reducing things in the air (smoke, dust, pet dander) that can cause asthma. We are conducting a study that tries to improve air quality in the home and, in that way, tries to lessen asthma symptoms in children. The study will last one year (12 months).

• There is no cost to participate
• Expenses incurred as part of this study will be reimbursed
• Participating families will receive financial compensation at the end of the study

This research is being conducted in collaboration with SUNY Upstate Medical University and the College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
