Read our Asthma research guide →Researchers want to understand how asthma — particularly the inflammation in your airways — might influence how your brain works and your mood. This study will look at whether people with asthma are more likely to experience depression or anxiety, and whether that connection is related to the inflammation happening in their lungs.
Many people with asthma also struggle with depression and anxiety, but doctors don't fully understand why. This research could help explain the connection between airway inflammation and brain health, which might lead to better ways to treat both conditions together.

You would visit the research clinic 6 times over several weeks. At each visit, you'll answer questionnaires about your mood and asthma symptoms, complete computer-based tasks, have breathing tests (including controlled exposure to allergens you're allergic to), get an allergy skin test, give blood samples, and have brain imaging scans. The whole process helps researchers see how your body's immune response to allergens connects with your brain function.
