We characterized the longitudinal effects associated with being African-American/Black or Hispanic/Latino on a range of asthma outcomes, and the extent to which sociodemographic factors, caregiver health literacy, education level, and asthma knowledge mediate these associations. Children ages 8-15 and their caregivers (n = 544) in the Chicago Initiative to Raise Asthma Health Equity (CHIRAH) cohort completed interviews every 3 months for 1.5 years. Health literacy was measured with the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM). Other covariates include sex, age, education level, income, smoke exposure, asthma duration, employment status, and insurance status. We conducted a series of models to evaluate these factors as mediators of the relationship between race/ethnicity and (1) asthma knowledge, (2) asthma-related quality of life, (3) asthma severity, and (4) asthma control based on NAEPP/EPR-...
This paper presents a dynamic intermodal freight network scheme using a Discrete Element Method (... more This paper presents a dynamic intermodal freight network scheme using a Discrete Element Method (DEM) approach for performing the microscopic simulation. The model is applied to a roadway network for freight movements from a port terminal. This approach was used to develop efficient control strategies for optimizing freight flow. The simulation model has various applications with the primary focus the ability to access information about roadway conditions used by freight movements in real time. This paper describes the assumptions used to develop this model and the unique data flow scheme based on a micro- particle approach is presented. The performance of the simulation model is validated by comparing its performance with that of the Federal Highway Administration’s microscopic simulation model CORSIM.
