Studies

Designing a scalable intervention to prevent asthma exacerbations in families due to air pollution

This study, conducted in partnership with the Children’s Environmental Health Research and Translation network, will result in the development of a scalable intervention to prevent asthma exacerbations in families due to air pollution, taking into account different air pollution hazards in different locations across the country, such as PM2.5 vs ozone.

Investigator: Myers, Laura

Funder: National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences/NIH/DHHS

Environment and Health “Climate Care” operational work – Member Intervention

This project aims to design and implement an asthma and air quality intervention plan to support the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and its operational work through 3 phases: 1) Asthma Patient and Clinician Education about Air Quality and Heat, 2) Home-based Asthma Outreach Pilot, and 3) Proactive Air Quality Alert.

Investigator: Myers, Laura

Funder: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan

Enhancing Multi-Agency Wildfire Ensemble Forecasts for Health and Air Quality Decision Support in the US and Beyond

This study will fill a critical gap in translating fire-related observations and modeling to directly inform Kaiser Permanente members of predicted poor air quality.

Investigator: Myers, Laura

Funder: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

Laying the foundation for building a resilient KPNC community in the face of worsening air quality due to wildfire smoke

This randomized pilot intervention will bring an evidence-informed intervention to homes of oxygen-dependent COPD patients in order to mitigate their exposure to air pollution and prevent exacerbations of their respiratory disease.

Investigator: Myers, Laura

Funder: TPMG Delivery Science Projects Program

Determining the health risks related to smoke from prescribed burns in patients with underlying cardiopulmonary disease

This study, which is being done in conjunction with Kaiser Permanente researchers in Southern California, will determine smoke-related PM2.5 levels surrounding prescribed burns and assess whether there is an association between prescribed burn-related air pollution and health care utilization (acute care visits) in the following week.

Investigator: Myers, Laura

Funder: Garfield Memorial Fund

Preventing hospitalizations for COPD exacerbations due to air pollution from wildfire smoke

Preventing hospitalizations for COPD exacerbations due to air pollution from wildfire smoke
Goal is to identify COPD patients at high risk of hospitalization from air pollution due to wildfire smoke, identify barriers to utilization of interventions that mitigate exposure to air pollution from wildfire smoke and pilot an intervention (education+masks+air purifiers) to mitigate exposure of COPD patients to particulate matter from wildfire smoke.

Use and outcomes of intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy for complicated parapneumonic pleural effusion and empyema in Kaiser Permanente Northern California

This study will describe the variation in dosing regimens of intrapleural fibrinolytic medications administered within KPNC to adults hospitalized with complicated parapneumonic effusion/empyema using mixed effects modeling. Aim 2 will determine the associations between common dosing regimens of intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy and treatment escalation.
