Objectif(s): To investigate the relationship between diet, sleep patterns and second hand cigarette smoke in the home on upper respiratory infections and subsequent conductive hearing impairment in Inuit children.
Description du projet: During 1993, seventy-six families in Coppermine participated in this study. Each child's hearing was assessed and each family was interviewed. Information was gathered on the family routine, diet and parenting style. Additional field trips to collect similar data are planned: the same children and families will be re-assessed during January and March 1994. Changes in hearing capability will be analyzed in terms of diet, sleep pattern and level of smoking.
