“…Public policy can support schoolcentered asthma programs to provide sustainability. 36 We have support from DPS administration and nursing, and we are disseminating the program into other school districts that have asked for our help. Therefore, although the Step-Up Asthma Program is labor and cost-intensive, the program has been successful in both reducing asthma morbidity and in being accepted and disseminated through DPS and to Colorado more generally.…”

“…This may also require changes in health care policy in various settings, such as schools and day care settings. 19 Our collaborative program in Denver, Colorado, and Hartford, Connecticut, entitled "Building Bridges for Asthma Care," is a program designed to improve communication between schools and medical care providers. This school-centered asthma program includes case management according to the asthma risk level for the individual student; use of school asthma care plans; onsite quick relief inhalers; asthma education for students, families, and school staff; and the buildout and optimization of existing information technology platforms in the schools.…”

Asthma in the inner city contributes to high morbidity and mortality, and, in school children, reduced school attendance and alteration in academic performance. There is a need to improve asthma care in the inner city by reducing asthma exacerbations. Methods are currently available to predict and prevent seasonal exacerbations of asthma. In addition, new medications are being developed that will be effective in improving pulmonary function and reducing asthma exacerbations. School-centered asthma programs can also be helpful to assist children and clinicians in applying asthma treatment plans and assuring optimal adherence to these plans.

“…These major school-based activities include school-based asthma therapeutic management programs, self-management education for students, indoor air quality and trigger reduction programs, educational trainings for school personnel, and administering asthma medication self-carry law [73]. State asthma programs utilize the data from their Center for Disease Control and Prevention-funded asthma surveillance systems to focus activities in regions with the most hospitalizations and emergency department visits for asthma to identify evidence-based interventions to implement statewide [72,74].…”

Purpose of review It has been well studied that aeroallergen, mold, and airborne pollutant exposure in the inner-city home environment is associated with significant childhood asthma morbidity. Although the home environment has been extensively studied, the school environment is less well understood. Recent findings In this article, we discuss the relationship between environmental exposures within the school and daycare environment and pediatric asthma morbidity and novel environmental interventions designed to help mitigate pediatric asthma morbidity. Summary Studies assessing environmental exposures outside the home environment and interventions to mitigate these exposures have the potential to reduce pediatric asthma morbidity. Further study in this area should focus on the complex cost benefit analyses of environmental interventions outside the home setting, while controlling for the home environment.
