Abstract

Abstract Minority populations in the U.S. are much more likely to be infected with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV2 and experience severe COVID-19 disease. In this proposal, we leverage our existing cohort of low-income children with asthma who participate in a housing mobility program to characterize rates of SARS-CoV2 infection and disease among participating children and their household members, to explore the relationship between indoor allergen and pollutant exposures, including second-hand smoke and SARS-CoV2 infection and disease, and to assess the impact of pandemic conditions on indoor exposures relevant to asthma among this population. This cohort presents a unique opportunity to study SARS-CoV2 within a cohort of children with well phenotyped asthma and well-characterized indoor exposures.
