1.Wildfire Smoke and Emergency Planning for First Nations People Living with Lung Disease in Remote and Rural British Columbia
The purpose of this study is to better understand how recent wildfires and wildfire smoke impacted Carrier and Sekani communities, and use this information to improve emergency response practices during future wildfire seasons. This study is funded by CIHR.
2. “Bayis Il Tus – A Strong Breath” A Community-Based Research Project to Improve Lung Health in Remote and Rural First Nations Communities in British Columbia
This study is an emerging community-based research partnership between UBC and Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS) to improve the respiratory health of people who live in remote and rural First Nations communities in Northern British Columbia (BC).
3. Strengthening our Bodies
Our goal for this study is to understand what the physical activities of First Nations people living in remote/rural locations are and how these activities improve their physical and spiritual health. Our overall goal is to develop, put into action and judge a First Nations pulmonary tele-rehabilitation (P-TR) program to improve the health of First Nations peoples living with chronic lung disease.
4. SPIRO: SPirometry for Improved Indigenous and Rural Respiratory Outcomes
A majority of COPD patients in rural, remote and First Nations communities in BC do not receive spirometry because these communities have limited spirometry services, and previous approaches to address this have been fragmented.
A “Spirometry as Care” approach increases spirometry services, provides education, and enables communication among HCPs to improve the health of people with COPD. This project will create lasting working relationships among researchers, healthcare professionals, decision-makers, patients and relevant organizations to address the limited accessibility and use of spirometry.
5. The Impact and Safety of In-hospital Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
This is a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the characteristics of physical activity and mobility in patients that are currently hospitalized for an acute exacerbation of COPD.
6. Rehabilitation Capacity for Covid-19 Survivors
The purpose of this project is to characterize the capacity of BC to provide rehabilitation services to COVID19 survivors, in order to support health care planning and facilitate best practices.
7. TB Pure
This study will assess the effectiveness, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program for preventing post-tuberculosis respiratory morbidity in India. Dr. Camp is responsible for the design and implementation of at-home rehabilitation programs conducted in three sites in India.
