Invitation: Join a Research Study on the Impact of FTAP on Air Quality & Respiratory Health

GHEP is excited to partner with Capella University in a public health research study to understand how the Family Tree Adoption Program (FTAP) and tree canopies impact air quality and respiratory health in our area. The purpose of the project is to positively impact attitudes toward environmental change and improve air quality, with the added benefit of improving the respiratory health of community members for years to come.

The study is led by Ms. Archine Perry a doctoral learner at Capella University in the School of Nursing and Health Science. The project is supervised by Dr. James Gambone, winner of the Capella University’s Faculty Excellence Award 2024 with GHEP as a practice site. The title of the study is “Clearing the urban air: an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) tree adoption program in a Maryland County.”

Participation in this research study is voluntary and will take approximately 15-20 minutes of your time. GHEP strongly encourages members of our community to participate in the study as this will help us get some evidence on how our program is impacting lives.
