“…Other investigators have reported a case management approach to be effective in long-term management of chronic conditions in children, including asthma (Vafiadou & Ranuro, 1999) and type 1 diabetes (Beck et al, 2004), particularly if a parent is involved in the treatment protocol (Schulte, Musolf, Meurer, Cohn, & Kelly, 2004). Case management is defined as a collaborative process of an interdisciplinary team that assesses, identifies perceptions, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors, and evaluates options and services needed to meet an individual's health needs (Moreo & Lamb, 2003).…”

This study has sought to determine if the Tommie Smith Youth Athletic Initiative (TSYAI) intervention could decrease the risk factors for childhood obesity among children 5 to 10 years of age. The TSYAI intervention is a 14-week after-school intervention for students in Grades K-5 that was started during the spring of 2008. It serves 63 children in a predominantly African American elementary school. The intervention consists of supervised after-school sessions 3 days per week. These sessions include 2 days of physical activity (flexibility, resistance, and track-and-field training) and 1 day of 45 min of nutrition education modules based on the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change followed by 45 min of group physical activity. Ninety-two percent of the participants are African American and 60% are overweight or obese (>85th percentile BMI for age and gender). The findings indicate that the TSYAI intervention significantly improves the participant's cardiovascular fitness, body composition, and dietary habits.

“…The Alianza Contra el Asma Pediátrica en Puerto Rico (the ALIANZA) stationed a nurse coordinator at the local clinic to promote implementation of the local MCO's disease management program among clinic staff and to coordinate care between the MCO and the clinic. Fight Asthma Milwaukee Allies (FAM Allies) conducted two studies to assess the effectiveness of care coordination by the local health department and by visiting nurses who provided home asthma education and case management (Gorelick, et al, in press;Schulte, Musolf, Meurer, Cohn, & Kelly, 2004).…”

Activities addressing pediatric asthma are often fragmented. Allies coalitions promoted integration, the alignment of concurrent asthma control activities across and within sectors. Systems integration describes activities from an organizational perspective. Activities included developing a shared vision, promoting consistency in asthma education and self-management support, improving adherence to clinical guidelines, advocating jointly for policy change, and seeking funds collaboratively. Service integration describes activities focused on ensuring seamless, comprehensive services through coordination within and across organizations. Activities included use of community health workers (CHWs) and nurses for care coordination, program cross-referral, and clinical quality improvement. Integration is a sustainable role for coalitions as it requires fewer resources than service delivery and results in institutionalization of system changes. Organizations that seek integration of asthma control may benefit.

“…[10][11][12][13] Both the National Cooperative Inner-City Asthma Study and the Inner-City Asthma Intervention identified several interrelated risk factors for morbidity, all of which fell within the social (e.g., suboptimal medical care), environmental (e.g., allergens in the home environment), and behavioral (e.g., poor medication adherence) determinants of health. 14,15 With such a broad range of contributing factors, reducing asthma morbidity requires asthma management that effectively addresses the full context of a person's life instead of clinical management alone, and interventions that address multiple determinants of health.…”

Asthma is among the most common chronic childhood diseases, affecting 6.8 million children nationwide. The highest rates of morbidity and mortality associated with the disease occur among those living in the inner city. Because asthma is a complex disease affected by physiological, social, environmental, and behavioral factors, interventions to reduce its morbidity burden need to address multiple determinants of health. In response to this need, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed a multisite cooperative agreement for the Controlling Asthma in American Cities Project (CAAC), with the primary goal of developing innovative, effective community-based interventions. All CAAC sites found a need for family and home asthma services (FHAS) and developed multicomponent (e.g., asthma self-management, social services, coordinated care) and multitrigger environmental interventions. This paper presents a synthesis of key program variables and process indicators for six CAAC FHAS interventions for consideration by communities, coalitions, or programs planning to implement similar activities.
