The Community Assessment of Freeway Exposure and Health Study

CAFEH serves as the larger umbrella for multiple, related community-based participatory research (CBPR) air pollution studies.

These projects have full participation of the community partners in all aspects of the science including: developing the proposal, leading the study, and collecting, analyzing and interpreting the data. 

The CAFEH partnership combines community and academic resources to advance scientific understanding of the health risks of highway pollution. We hope our findings will inform policymakers about the risks of siting new housing, schools or playgrounds next to highways and help to identify measures to reduce exposures.
