• Description:
  In response to pediatricians’ reports of increased visits for respiratory illnesses among children living in FEMA-supplied trailers and mobile homes in Hancock County, Mississippi, after Hurricane Katrina, the Mississippi State Department of Health requested CDC’s assistance in conducting a case series investigation to compare the proportion of visits with indoor air quality (IAQ) -related diagnoses before and after the hurricane and to characterize these proportions with regard to trailer or mobile home occupancy. This report summarizes the results of that investigation.
