Question Title

* 1. Consent Form:

The California Department of Public Health Work-related Asthma Prevention Program is working on a project to identify and prevent work-related job hazards that cause various lung conditions. We learned of your lung condition from a report that your hospital was required to complete for all emergency department visits. This report was sent to the State. The report was about your emergency department visit(s) for asthma in 2016. The health department is trying to learn more about how exposures to chemicals in the workplace can cause lung problems. Your experience can help us understand the causes of work-related lung disease and help us take steps to prevent it from happening to others. Information about your experience can help us make policy recommendations that will create safer and healthier working conditions.
If you would be willing to complete a 1-2 minute questionnaire, you will be asked the 6 quick multiple choice follow-up questions below about your lung condition and your work, including possible exposures to chemicals. Any answers you give will be strictly confidential. It is important you answer the questions even if you don't know if your lung condition is related to your work. We do not anticipate any risks to you from completing the questionnaire. Your participation with this questionnaire is entirely voluntary; you can skip any questions you don't want to answer, and you can leave the questionnaire at any point. If you like, we will send you some information about occupational asthma and how it can be prevented on the job. If you have any questions or concerns about this questionnaire or project, please don't hesitate to call our staff doctor, Dr. Robert Harrison, at (510) 620-5769 or Jennifer Flattery, project manager, at 510-620-5765.

Checking the "Agree" box below indicates that you have read the above information and voluntarily agree to participate.
