Abstract

Abstract: Minority populations in the U.S. are much more likely to be infected with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV2and experience severe COVID-19 disease. In this proposal, we leverage our existing cohort of low-incomechildren with asthma who participate in a housing mobility program to characterize rates of SARS-CoV2infection and disease among participating children and their household members, to explore the relationshipbetween indoor allergen and pollutant exposures, including second-hand smoke and SARS-CoV2 infection anddisease, and to assess the impact of pandemic conditions on indoor exposures relevant to asthma among thispopulation. This cohort presents a unique opportunity to study SARS-CoV2 within a cohort of children with wellphenotyped asthma and well-characterized indoor exposures.
