BA's Michael Johnson is headed to Vancouver for #ISES! He, along with other HAPIN colleagues, will be sharing lessons learned and results from the trial, from pre-natal to early childhood #HouseholdAirPollution exposures. Make sure to stop by and join the discussions!

What a journey! Hard to believe that the HAPIN trial was being piloted 9 years ago. As the project comes to a close (more pubs to come!), we express immense gratitude to funders, Emory University, collaborators, site leaders, field teams, and with extra special appreciation, the participants!

The link between PM2.5 and ADHD held up after researchers tested other explanations
Using two decades of U.S. county-level data, researchers found that long-term PM2.5 exposure was robustly associated with higher childhood ADHD prevalence, while associations with low birth weight and...
