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.

Program Title:
Project Clean It Up
Program Description:
“Project Clean It Up” is one of Bayview Hunter’s Point Health and Environmental Resource Center’s asthma programs. The project will include modifications of service delivery geared toward improving indoor air quality in homes of residents living in the Bayview Hunters Point district of San Francisco. A cleaner living environment could result in less emergency room visits and increase the number of days children are in school and able to participate in higher learning. The project is designed to teach people with asthma how to effectively manage and control the disease and better improve housekeeping techniques. Methods used to engage participants include outreach, education, training and other service-oriented referrals.
