Does anyone have low literacy Asian language patient education materials they could share? thanks.
1. how do you know trigger reduction i.e. cockroaches. is by self report or testing?
2. what suggestions do you give to a smaller program with not as many resources as NY has?
~Erica Bailey
Is there is a good, national resource to develop home-based asthma coordinators in communities that do not currently have this capacity? e.g., developing key processes, recruiting and training staff, etc.
Do you know of any programs that have used nursing students for home environmental assessment with the EPA assessment tool? If so, were the families receiving home visits referred by hospital ERs, physician offices, school nurses?
Any suggestions for how to get families interested in the home environmental assessments?
~Julie St.Clair
For the home assessment and education, are there protocols or checklists available on-line to be able to downlowd for free?
The results which you showed on the webinar ("selected outcomes") were very iimpressive. I didn't catch whether you said how many home visits were performed prior to evaluating improvements. Could you tell us more about what the level of engagement with the families was prior to seeing these results?
Awesome presentations! Thanks so much.
