Healthy KidsAlbuquerque Public Schools in New Mexico receives funding from CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health to implement an asthma management program. The goals of Albuquerque’s asthma management program include reducing absenteeism among students with asthma, improving asthma management of students while in school, establishing and maintaining asthma-friendly schools, improving asthma management behaviors of all school staff, ensuring that students have access to health care, and ensuring that students with asthma have an identified primary care provider.

  • Providing asthma education and management training to nurses, mental health providers, counselors, and administrative staff at each participating school; and obtaining feedback from training recipients for continuous improvement.
     
  • Teaching Open Airways classes to students in grades 3-5 with moderate to severe asthma.
