Study Overview
Depending on where you live, poor air quality days can be a regular part of life. Scientists are learning about the causes and consequences of poor air quality, but there is more to learn about how people actually experience bad air quality and manage its impacts on their daily routines and personal health.
This study will address this gap in our understanding through interviews to learn more about people’s perspectives on indoor and outdoor air quality. This study is led by Dr. Norah MacKendrick in the Department of Sociology at Rutgers University. Funding for this study comes from an internal Rutgers research grant.
We are currently recruiting participants for 30-60-minute interviews, which can take place over the phone, Zoom or in-person (for those in the NJ/NY region). As a thank-you for volunteering, participants will receive a $25 gift certificate. To qualify for the study, you must reside in the United States or Canada.
