Project Summary/Abstract COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, is rapidly affecting humans around the globe. While initial epidemiological data have focused on cases that resulted in severe respiratory disease seen predominantly in adults, little information regarding the infection burden in children is available. This is complicated by the observation that many virologically-confirmed cases in children are asymptomatic. Home environments are established sources of exposure that exacerbate symptoms of asthma and home-based interventions are proven effective. Prior to the inception of the School Inner-City Asthma Study (SICAS-1), no American study had comprehensively evaluated the relationship between urban exposures in school, classroom, and home environments and asthma morbidity. Nearly all elementary school children spend 7 to 12 hours a day in school, and most of that time is spent in one classroom. From SICAS-1, we learned that student classroom-specific mouse allergen, mold, and particulate pollutant exposure is associated with worsening symptoms. We also demonstrated our ability to reduce these exposures in a busy, school setting. Our proposal builds upon our established, successful school-based infrastructure to determine whether a school/classroom intervention will efficiently and effectively improve asthma morbidity by reducing these exposures. Our goal is to determine the efficacy of school/classroom based environmental intervention in reducing asthma morbidity in urban schoolchildren. Our central hypothesis is that reducing classroom/school exposure to mouse allergen, mold, and particulate pollutants will decrease asthma morbidity in students with asthma. We plan to test this hypothesis in an intervention study of 250 elementary students with asthma from multiple classrooms in 40 Boston inner-city elementary schools. Our clinical trial aims are to determine the effectiveness of a school/classroom based environmental intervention (school integrated pest management and classroom air purifying filter units within these schools) to reduce asthma morbidity. The supplement to the parent grant is to leverage the cohort for the to participate in the multi-center survey entitled Human Epidemiology and Response to SARS-CoV-2 (HEROS), study. This study can be rapidly implemented and realistically conducted without necessitating any visits to a clinical research center. In addition to the need for surveying children for asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, this study will allow a comparison between children with asthma and other atopic conditions and children without those conditions through remote surveys and collection of samples. This study is an unprecedented, high impact opportunity to leverage the parent trial with in scope in understanding how SARS-C0V-2 differentially affects children with the condition of interest, compared to children without it.

项目摘要/摘要 Covid-19是由SARS-COV-2引起的传染病，正在迅速影响全球人类。 虽然最初的流行病学数据集中在导致严重呼吸系统疾病的病例上 主要是成年人，几乎没有有关儿童感染负担的信息。这是 观察到许多病毒学确认的儿童是无症状的，这使人们的观察变得复杂。家 环境已建立的暴露源，加剧哮喘和基于家庭的症状 干预措施被证明有效。在启动学校内城哮喘研究（SICAS-1）之前，没有 美国研究已经全面评估了学校中城市暴露之间的关系， 教室，家庭环境和哮喘发病率。几乎所有小学的孩子花了7支 每天在学校12小时，大部分时间都在一个教室里度过。从SICAS-1，我们了解到 学生教室特异性的老鼠过敏原，霉菌和颗粒污染物的暴露与 症状恶化。我们还证明了我们在繁忙的学校环境中减少这些暴露的能力。 我们的建议建立在我们建立的成功的基于学校的基础设施上，以确定是否是 学校/课堂干预将通过减少这些干预，从而有效地有效地改善哮喘发病率 暴露。我们的目标是确定基于学校/教室的环境干预的功效 减少城市学童的哮喘发病率。我们的中心假设是减少教室/学校 暴露于小鼠过敏原，霉菌和颗粒物污染物将降低患有学生的哮喘发病率 哮喘。我们计划在250名来自 波士顿40个城市小学的多个教室。我们的临床试验目的是确定 基于学校/教室的环境干预的有效性（学校综合害虫管理 这些学校内的教室空气净化过滤器单元）以降低哮喘发病率。补充 父母赠款是要利用队列参加题为《人类的多中心调查》 流行病学和对SARS-COV-2（HEROS）的反应，研究。这项研究可以迅速实施，并且 现实进行的无需访问临床研究中心。除了需要 对儿童进行无症状的SARS-COV-2感染，这项研究将允许在 通过远程调查，患有哮喘和其他特应性疾病的儿童以及没有这些条件的孩子 和样品的收集。这项研究是一个前所未有的高影响机会，可以利用父母的审判 在了解SARS-C0V-2的范围内如何差异影响儿童感兴趣的状况， 与没有它的孩子相比。
