The Airport Air Quality and Asthma (AAA) indoor air intervention trial for children with asthma: Protocol for a community-based study in South King County, Washington State.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For children with asthma, exposure to indoor air pollution increases the risk of a serious asthma exacerbation, which can be life-threatening. Interventions aimed at improving indoor air quality, including the use of a portable air cleaner with a high-efficiency particle air (HEPA) filter, may reduce this risk; however, the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of HEPA air cleaners vary, and more research in various settings is needed.

Methods

In collaboration with a community health worker (CHW) delivered asthma education program, we are conducting a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of HEPA air cleaners to improve indoor air quality and child asthma health in South King County of Washington State, a vulnerable community impacted by
