TESIE Study

The TESIE project was conducted from 2014-2016, with over 200 families from central North Carolina. Hand wipes, dust, urine, and silicone wristbands were all used to assess exposure levels experienced by children in the home. Questionnaires answered by parents or guardians were helpful in assessing behavioral practices that may influence exposure.

Multiple publications came from this dataset, though my authorships are below.
