Author: Andrew Larkin
Affiliation: Oregon State University, College of Health
Principal Investigator: Perry Hystad

Summary
This github repository contains the scripts used to compare birth outcomes between maternal neighbors upwind/downwind of the same high-traffic road

Repository Structure
Files are divided into five folders, with each folder corresponding to a unique stage of the study

  • birth records - preprocess birth cohort records
  • wind metrics - calculate number of hours residences were downwind from high-traffic roads.
  • building and tree shielding - estimate how much buildings and trees shielded maternal residences from roads.
  • matching - pair upwind/downwind neighbors on opposite sides of the same road.
  • statistical analysis - linear and logistic regression models to estimate impacts of living downwind on birth outcomes
