  1. About NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) and the Respirator Use Questionnaire: About NIOSH-Approved Disposable N95 Respirators; Respirator Use Questionnaire, New Orleans, Louisiana
    Source: National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] (CDC NIOSH)
    Date Published: 2015
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is working with people on behalf of the State of Louisiana to encourage and explore public use of masks and respirators. This survey targets those who have experienced hurricanes living in New Orleans. Questions relate to disaster experience, health, visual evaluation, and demographics. NIOSH aims to promote cautionary tools such as masks among certain populations to minimize public inhalation of mold and other contaminants. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  3. NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Alert: Preventing Occupational Respiratory Disease from Exposures Caused by Dampness in Office Buildings, Schools, and Other Nonindustrial Buildings: Appendix A: Building Inspection Checklist
    Source: National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] (CDC NIOSH)
    Date Published: 11/2012
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: Research studies show that exposures to building dampness and mold are associated with respiratory symptoms such as asthma, hypersensitivity, and other health impacts. These subsequent illnesses occur in part from a lack of knowledge and understanding of the nature and severity resulting from dampness and mold in buildings. This checklist, located in Appendix A, pages 19-21, describes methods for identifying evidence of leaks or dampness that can be addressed before extensive damage occurs. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  4. PILOT Study: Dampness and Mold Assessment Tool Instructions Packet
    Source: National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] (CDC NIOSH)
    Date Published: 2011
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: This observational assessment tool was developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to gauge signs of dampness, water damage, mold growth, and musty odors in rooms and areas throughout a building. The information collected aims to provide valuable data for motivating remediation, prioritizing intervention, and evaluating remediation effectiveness. This packet describes step-by-step instructions to identify and record areas of dampness or mold, trigger early repair, create awareness of potential problem areas, and track or monitor past and present areas of focus. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
