Community Action Against Asthma This program involved a household intervention and an environmental exposure assessment study. The primary stakeholders for this program were the health division, a community coalition, primary healthcare providers, parents, and children/adolescents. The household intervention utilized a community health worker model to help caregivers reduce their child’s asthma triggers and manage their asthma. The intervention was effective in reducing the proportion of children and adolescents (ages 7–18 years) who required unscheduled medical visits and used asthma controller...
