Abstract: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is conducting a health questionnaire of employees in 50 elementary schools in a large urban school district as part of the PHP-funded research project, Application of a Web-Based Health Survey Tool in Schools. The purpose of this project is to better understand how associations between health outcomes and dampness/mold scores can be used to prioritize remediation in schools. The study will be done by administering an internet-based questionnaire to school employees at 50 elementary schools and conducting an environmental survey at 15 of these schools. It is anticipated that the web-based questionnaire will take approximately no more than 20 minutes to complete. The potential impact of this project would be improvement in interpretation of the dampness and mold scores in relation to health and the future addition of a health module to the dampness and mold assessment tool.
