Funded Program:
Replication and Implementation of Scientifically Proven Asthma Interventions
Program Description:
CDC is funding grantees to implement the following two scientifically evaluated asthma interventions shown to decrease acute care visits, decrease hospitalizations, and increase compliance with asthma care plans: the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s "Asthma Care Training for Kids" ([ACT] grantees in Illinois [two sites], New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington) and the American Lung Association’s "Open Airways for Schools" ([OAS] grantees in California [two sites], Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York). The goals for ACT are to increase asthma control compliance behaviors and to decrease emergency department visits and number of days spent in the hospital. The goals for OAS are to increase school performance and self-management behaviors and to decrease the number of asthma episodes.
