Summary: Volunteers Needed for Research Study on Treatment of Asthma in Pregnancy

Researchers at the University of Kentucky Division of Allergy and Immunology are conducting a research study to measure and monitor breathing and airway inflammation in three groups of pregnant women (healthy pregnant women, pregnant women with asthma, and pregnant women who are smokers) and follow the health status of their children at three yearly intervals after their birth. In addition, they will test the effectiveness of exhaled Nitric Oxide levels to determine dosage of steroid medications used to treat asthma in pregnant women.

You may qualify for this study if:

• you are a healthy pregnant woman;
• you are a pregnant woman with asthma; or
• you are a pregnant woman who smokes five or more cigarettes a day.

Participants will also receive a medical exam at no cost, intensive monitoring of their asthma, and compensation for their participation including travel time and costs. Participation in this study includes five visits for the mother and follow-up visits for the child at ages 1, 2, and 3.

The principal investigator for this study is James Temprano, M.D., M.H.A. For further information,
