Global Health Activities in Developing Countries to Combat Non-Communicable Chron

Moi大学已经申请了补充资金，以便在肯尼亚和孟加拉国进行炉具干预试验，以评估通过用节能、低排放的炉具取代传统炉具减少IAP对呼吸系统的潜在益处。他们还将评估价值偏好和具体的教育干预措施，以提高炉子的接受度。在孟加拉国，他们将开展一项病例对照研究，以更好地确定与IAP相关的COPD风险。

Moi University has applied for supplemental funding in order to conduct stove intervention trials to evaluate the potential respiratory benefits of reducing IAP by replacing traditional stoves with fuel-efficient, low emission stoves in both Kenya and Bangladesh. They will also evaluate value preferences and specific educational interventions to improve stove acceptance. In Bangladesh they will perform a case control study to better determine the risk of COPD associated with IAP. In addition to the research projects, they will undertake several joint educational activities to improve the research skills of the Cardiopulmonary Center of Excellence (COE) trainees in the areas of IAP and respiratory diseases. These educational sessions are similarly designed to promote critical thinking and global networking. These research studies and training will be conducted in collaboration between the Kenya and the Bangladesh COEs.
