The Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) Trial is an international multi-center study aimed at assessing the impact of a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cooking stove and fuel intervention on health. HAPIN Trial centers are located in four countries: Guatemala, India, Peru and Rwanda. Tom Clasen leads this study as one of three Principal Investigators. MPH and PhD students have the opportunity to work alongside Tom to conduct research for HAPIN.
