Biography

Steve Marshall is an epidemiologist whose main area of research is injury prevention. The area of injury epidemiology is understudied relative to the public health significance, cost, and preventability of these health outcomes.

Marshall is the Director of UNC's Injury Prevention Research Center. He has an adjunct appointment in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science, and work closely with colleagues in the Sports Medicine Research Laboratory, the Center for Study of Retired Athletes, and the Mathew Gfeller Sports-Related Traumatic Brain Injury Center.

Marshall's areas of research focus, over the course of his career, has been sports medicine, surveillance of sports injury, transportation safety, occupational injury, and violence prevention. He also has a strong interest in biostatistics and epidemiologic methods. Injuries are an enormous source of mortality and morbidity in the USA and globally and Marshall believes that research is urgently needed to help us learn how to address this pressing epidemic.

Exploration of the effects of classroom humidity levels on teachers’ respiratory symptoms


International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health

2016 Previous studies indicate that teachers have higher asthma prevalence than other non-industrial worker groups. Schools frequently have trouble maintaining indoor relative humidity (RH) within the optimum range (30–50 %) for reducing allergens and irritants. However, the potential relationship between classroom humidity and teachers’ health has not been explored. Thus, we examined the relationship between classroom humidity levels and respiratory symptoms among North Carolina teachers.
