This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The primary goal of the Seattle Healthy Homes Initiative is to decrease children's exposure to multiple household hazards which cause illness or injury through remediation of structural conditions and empowerment of residents to take additional, sustainable actions which reduce exposures. We will address poor indoor air quality (excessive moisture, mold, dust mites, pests, tobacco smoke, pet danders), lead, toxic substances, and injury hazards. This project will further our work in promoting environmental justice through focusing on low-income and minority households with disproportionate exposure to indoor hazards. Secondary research goals are to accumulate descriptive data on levels of these hazards, examine the association between hazards and health outcomes and examine develop and assess low cost methods for assessment of indoor environmental quality.
