This study is looking at whether using Winix HEPA air purifiers can improve indoor air quality in homes in rural Alaska, specifically in the Yukon-Kuskokwim (YK) Delta. Many children in this area experience breathing problems due to indoor air pollution from woodstoves and tobacco smoke. Researchers want to see if these air purifiers can reduce tiny particles in the air (PM2.5), which are a measure of air quality. You may be able to join if you are an Alaska Native family with a child aged 5 years or younger, live in a home with a woodstove or a smoker, and do not plan to move during the study. The study aims to enroll 15 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive an intervention (the air purifier). It plans to enroll 15 participants.

What's involved

You would set up study equipment in your home, operate it, and report your child's breathing symptoms weekly for 12 weeks. You would then return the air monitoring equipment.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoint, indoor particulate matter concentrations, will be measured at 12 weeks.
