A primary objective is to collect data on key clinical outcome endpoints, including changes in percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (ppFEV1) that are often used as endpoints in therapeutic trials to establish a repository of control data (e.g., in the absence of investigational drug use) in pwCF who are ineligible and/or not taking CFTR modulators. These data may be used in research or investigative efforts (e.g., for comparison with people exposed to experimental or new therapies in CF).

This study focuses on how communities near the coast deal with frequent but shallow flooding. We focus on small towns in Carteret County, NC, where families have lived for a long time. We want to talk to residents here to understand how they see their quality of life changing as flooding increases. We also want to see if their tolerance for this type of flooding changes depending on how bad it is and which areas are affected. By talking to residents and modeling flooding, we hope to characterize how livable this place may be in the future considering these floods.
