Center for Childhood Asthma in the Urban Environment (CCAUE) is a coordi­nated effort by a faculty researchers in the JH Bloomberg School of Public Health and the JH School of Medicine addressing the long-term goals of (1) understand­ing how exposures to air pollutants and allergens may induce airway inflammation and increase asthma morbidity; and (2) developing effective strategies to reduce disease by preventing these exposures. The CCAUE completed four projects, including both community-based and basic science mechanistic studies. The first project was a community-based epidemiologic study of 400 pre-school children in East Baltimore.
