About This Study
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University are conducting a research study to see how reducing home indoor air pollutant exposure and increasing dietary omega-3 could help improve respiratory symptoms, quality of life, lung function, and risk of exacerbations in individuals with COPD.
Participants in the study will receive up to $50 of food each week, delivered to their home for 12 weeks. The study seeks to understand whether a dietary modification can improve COPD outcomes and lessen the adverse effects of indoor air pollutants on respiratory health.
