Research

Both clinical and in vitro studies are under way to investigate the clinical course, epideniology and mechanisms underlying airway diseases (asthma and bronchitis-like syndromes) that are seen in workers in a number of different industries. These industries employ organic compounds such as latex paper, wool, cotton, food products, and industrial wastes.

The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
