Asthma and particulate matter (PM) pollution: Insights from health survey and air quality monitoring in the Buzzard Point, Washington DC neighborhood

Dr. Elgloria Harrison

Dean, School of Health Sciences, Human Services and Nursing, CUNY Institute of Health Equity, Lehman College

Dr. Harrison will discuss her community-based research on preventing the devastating effects of asthma on the child and the family in urban setting through preventative education about symptoms. Her work also considers climate changes and other environmental issues as well as connections between chronic diseases and physical inactivity (more prevalent in minority communities of color and older adults). As a community-based researcher, this line of research is important to purse real answers to these stubborn problems. This work was published in Journal of Primary Care and Community Health.
