We would like to invite residents who live in these metro areas to participate in the project: Detroit, Milwaukee, Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Memphis. If you live in one of these areas, are 40 years or older, have a drafty home, or are planning to receive certain home upgrades, you might be eligible to participate and receive $280, a sleep quality report, and an indoor temperature report.
What Do Study Participants Need to Do?
- At the start of the study, complete a 30-minute survey with questions about your home, health, and finances.
- Share your utility bills from the past year.
- Keep a temperature and humidity monitor in your bedroom for one year.
- Wear a sleep-and-activity monitor for two one-week periods.
- Take a 10-minute survey once a month and a 30-minute survey at the end of the study.
