Description:
Objective:The Community-Based Participatory Research Intervention Project currently consists of two projects. The first project is an evaluation of a building-wide Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program in public housing. The project is a collaboration between the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYCDOHMH), the NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA), and the Columbia Center for Children’s Environmental Health (CCCEH). The objective of this research project is to examine the impact of IPM on pest populations, allergen levels, and asthma morbidity up to 6 months after the intervention. This project currently is funded by a no-cost extension. The second project continues the NYCHA/NYCDOH/CCCEH collaboration, examining the long-term impact of NYCHA’s IPM intervention. The objective of the second research project is to determine: (1) the duration of IPM effectiveness by measuring how long IPM keeps pest levels reduced; (2) how long the physical repairs, sealing, and caulking last before degrading; and (3) the maintenance schedule needed to maintain IPM.
