Descrição detalhada
A research and community service partnership of the Medical College of Wisconsin, the Univ. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Nursing and the non-profit asthma coalition Fight Asthma Milwaukee Allies (FAM) was developed to describe and improve health relevant air quality conditions within urban Milwaukee daycare environments. Daycare air quality and the ability of education to improve air quality, both within Milwaukee and elsewhere, has not been extensively studied nor addressed in Wisconsin state law to date.
This project aims to understand the levels of indoor organic pollution and fine particles in the air, as well as temperature and humidity with using inexpensive, consumer-grade, internet cloud enabled continuous indoor air quality (IAQ) monitors. These air quality variables are scientifically established important risk factors for both the development and exacerbation of asthma.
This project aims to train UWM Nursing students, FAM Allies volunteers and MCW staff to teach an established educational programing curriculum developed by FAM Allies to daycare staff. Daycare programs may be motivated to participate in study as the curriculum is approved continuing education credits for daycare staff members.
The FAM Allies curriculum will address understanding of the importance of asthma and IAQ with irritant reduction measures, and safer cleaning and pest-control techniques. Additionally, the program will review the importance of IAQ upon the lungs and review knowledge about asthma.
The proposal is a 4-month intervention in which the IAQ monitor will be placed in daycares to obtain baseline measurements. Half of the facilities will receive education at the second month allowing the team to assess before and after education air quality readings. The rest of the facilities will receive the same education at the third month. After 4 months, the devices will be removed from the facilities and results in aggregate will be shared with the daycare.

Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Assessment of Cleaning Practices (including VOC generation) practice changes associated with the Educational Intervention
Prazo: before educational curriculum, up to 4 months following educational intervention
|
Quantitative before/after surveys of Day Care cleaning behavior practices before the educational intervention and up to 4 months following, via survey inventories (practice frequencies assessed with 5 tiers survey, range: everyday to never); completed by a single designated Day Care administrator
|
before educational curriculum, up to 4 months following educational intervention
|
|
Assessment of Perceived Obstacles to Cleaning Behavior Change
Prazo: immediately following educational intervention
|
Survey-based assessment of beliefs about Obstacles to Cleaning Behavior Change (ranked survey with 8 domains, scale 1-8 of importance); all child care staff participating in educational intervention
|
immediately following educational intervention
|
|
Assessment of Percieved Quality of Educational Program
Prazo: immediately following educational intervention
|
Survey-based assessment of beliefs about Quality of Educational Program (survey with ranked scale poor/neutral/good, 5 domains), pre-specified subgroup analysis based upon teacher type (nursing student, Americorp worker, professional asthma educator)
