SCHOOL SURVEY
MONTH, YEAR
We
(NIOSH) are partnering with the American Lung Association of New
England to improve indoor environments of schools. We will be doing
a three-year research study that includes both health and
environmental surveys of the school. This year the surveys will be
during the week of DATE.
We
are inviting all school employees to participate in a questionnaire
and lung function testing. In
each of the three years you will asked to take part in the study.
Participation is entirely voluntary. For the study to be as
successful as possible, it is best for all employees to take part in
all three years. The questionnaire will be given by an interviewer
and will take about 30 to 45 minutes. The lung function testing
will be done by trained NIOSH technicians and will take about 10-15
minutes. The questionnaire and lung function testing will be done
at the school during school hours. Note:
The paragraph below will only be included on the flyer sent to the
school with dampness problems.
Some
participants will be asked to take part in a lung function test to
look at changes in lung function over time. This will occur during
three weeks in the spring semester and three weeks during the
summer. All
results will be confidential and will become part of the CDC Privacy
Act System. Overall study results (without names or other
identifying information) will be prepared and will be available upon
request.
If
you have any questions about the survey, you may contact the NIOSH
project officers, Dr. Jean Cox-Ganser or Dr. Ju-Hyeong Park at
