Asthma Research Study
Researchers at Mount Sinai National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute are looking for people with asthma to participate in a research study. Join our compensated study today!
Fast Facts
18-60 years old
diagnosis of asthma for at least 1 year
no use of cigarettes or e-cigarettes
Compensation Provided
Conducted in new york, NY
Study Background
Asthma is a disease associated with wheezing, chest tightness, and cough that can lead to lung function decline, hospitalization, and sometimes death. We do not completely understand the reasons behind persistent inflammation or why viral infections occur more frequently in patients with asthma. Your participation in this study may help researchers improve treatment approaches for asthma.

Study Background
Asthma is a disease indicated by wheezing, chest tightness, and cough that can lead to lung function decline, hospitalization, and sometimes death. We, the research team, do not completely understand the reasons behind persistent inflammation or why viral infections occur more frequently in patients with asthma. We believe that specific biological processes, with overlapping and corresponding functions in the lung, do not work correctly. We hope to explore reasons for these problems.
Your participation in this study may help future researchers improve treatment approaches for asthma. Advance research today and join our compensated study!
