  1. European Community Respiratory Health Survey
    Source: European Union, European Commission
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: The European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) contains questions about breathing and respiratory problems. ECRHS is based on a multi-center, international study initially set up in the early 1990s to assess the prevalence of asthma and allergies in young to middle-aged adults. It was the first study to assess the prevalence of asthma and allergic disease in young adults in many countries using a standardized protocol. There are three phases, with approximately 200,000 participants in the questionnaire phase 1, and 26,000 in the clinical phase 2; phase 3 is currently in progress. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
