Breugelmans et al. (2007) [48] | Amsterdam New runway opening Step-change increase in exposure. Focused on changes in outcomes |
See study details as reported in Table 13 (annoyance) Calculated Lnight and change in Lnight were the exposure measures |
Sleep disturbance 0–10 scale | Yes %Highly Sleep Disturbed does change for increase group |
2002 panel survey before-results used to derive ERF for sleep disturbance Observed %Highly Sleep Disturbed is consistent with that estimated from above ERF Sleep disturbance response to change as estimated by ERF |
Wide range of confounders incorporated into the analysis. See Table 13 | |||||
Fidell, Silvati, & Haboly (2002) [49] | Vancouver Step change with new runway Change in aircraft operations |
See study details as reported in Table 13 (annoyance) | Filter question, then: ‘bothered or annoyed in last year’ If Yes, Has your sleep been disturbed? Y/N Reported %sleep disturbed each area B & A Most areas, no change. See next column |
Yes +7 dB area: B: 16%; A: 43% (chi2 27.5, p < 0.007) +3 dB area: B: 5%; A: 17% (chi2 8.2, p < 0.007) |
