It can be a challenge getting people from an urban setting to attend asthma educational event. Did you offer incentives for people to attend the asthma blow out? If so what were they?
Addressing Outdoor Air Quality
From Isa Perry -
Do any of the programs address outdoor air quality (PM2.5)? What partnerships are in place for discussions about the impact of outdoor air quality on asthma?
Emergency Preparedness - No Nebulizer Access
From Connie Carcel -
As part of Emergency Preparedness, evacuating the school - you may not have access to use a nebulizer - do you use Spacer with Albuterol MDI 4-6 puffs for an acute asthma episode? Every student should have a valve holding spacer with their Albuterol MDI & Asthma Action Plan.(Helpful for Teacher substitutes who don't knwo these students)
