World Trade Center Adolescent Health Study

Completed

Conditions studied: Asthma, Hypertension, Cardiovascular Risk Factor, Insulin Resistance, Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic, Exposure to Toxic Dust

In brief

The proposed study builds upon preliminary studies in self-selected populations to identify opportunities for early identification of World Trade Center-related health consequences in adolescents. If adverse health consequences are identified, proactive cardiometabolic and pulmonary screening of exposed children may be indicated, with targeted interventions intended to prevent development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and adverse cardiometabolic outcomes in adulthood.
