Brief Summary

The aims of this project are twofold:

1. 1.to characterize indoor air quality components obtained from apartments with gas stoves and open kitchens in a cohort of Black adults with uncontrolled asthma recruited from federally qualified health centers and enrolled in the parent study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Completion of acceptability questionnaire

  The number of participants who complete the acceptability questionnaire. The acceptability questionnaire is a semi-structured interview at the time of indoor air quality sample retrieval and will be guided by the constructs of the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (e.g., burden, user experience, attitudes, participation intentions).

  Post-trial visit (up to 3 months after intervention completion)

Study Arms (2)

Black adults with persistent asthma in homes with gas kitchen appliances

Black adults with persistent asthma that reside in homes with kitchen appliances (i.e., cooktops, ovens, and ranges) fueled by combustible gas.

Black adults with persistent asthma in homes without gas kitchen appliances

Black adults with persistent asthma that reside in homes with kitchen appliances (i.e., cooktops, ovens, and ranges) not fueled by combustible gas.

Eligibility Criteria
