简要总结
This pilot study (n=20) is a prospective evaluation of the implementation of an indoor air pollution intervention among adults 55 years of age or older. The intervention, called Air Improvement and Real-time Monitoring for Wellness through Interactive Strategies and Education (AIRWISE), is focused on improving indoor air quality through air filtration, education, and behavioral recommendations. All participants will receive the AIRWISE intervention with the objective of evaluating acceptance and use of the individual intervention components. This implementation study will inform the submission of a larger NIH proposal for a randomized trial. The central study hypothesis is that an intervention program with educational strategies and visual behavioral cues will increase knowledge and awareness of air pollution exposures among the participants and lead to improved intervention compliance.

结局指标
主要结局
Evaluate the implementation of an indoor air pollution intervention.
时间窗: 6 months
As an implementation study, the investigators will administer the AIRWISE intervention to 20 adult participants (55+ years of age) and evaluate intervention fidelity, acceptance, and compliance over a 6-month period spanning the 2024 wildfire season. An important outcome measure is to understand how frequently participants use the primary intervention components that include personal air cleaners (PACs), an indoor air quality monitor that changes color based on air quality index, and educational materials. These 3 components will be evaluated via electronic surveys administered every 2 weeks over the course of the study. The investigators will use 7 Likert Scale (ordinal) questions to measure frequency of use for the intervention components. The 7 questions will be combined into a composite score of intervention use that ranges from 7 to 39, with higher scores indicating higher intervention use.
