During this webinar, leading asthma experts with comprehensive school-based asthma management programs discuss several topics: how to collaborate with key partners to improve asthma management in schools; control asthma’s impact on students; improve student academic performance; understand the connection between effective asthma management in schools, and green and healthy indoor learning environments.
This is the first webinar in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Indoor Environments Division’s new webinar series: Solving for the Indoor Environmental Determinants of Health (IEDOH) in Asthma.
In the first webinar, "Using Data to Prioritize In-Home IEDOH Interventions," learn from experts about—
- Asthma and environmental data collection and analysis from three different perspectives.
- Potential opportunities to use data to prioritize in-home environmental interventions and improve indoor environments for people with asthma.

This is the second webinar in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Indoor Environments Division’s new webinar series: Solving for the Indoor Environmental Determinants of Health (IEDOH) in Asthma.
In this webinar, "Weatherization’s Effects on Pediatric Asthma: Evidence From a Natural Experiment," learn from experts about—
- Maximizing impact with limited funds by partnering with such programs as weatherization, whose primary interventions (i.e., air sealing and insulating homes) are not common in asthma home visiting but may be widely beneficial for asthma.
- Evidence from an important natural experiment in Kansas City, Missouri, on the effects of weatherization and improved thermal comfort in homes on pediatric asthma outcomes.
Join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and experts from around the country for a live panel discussion about strategies for and lessons learned about delivering in-home asthma care and environmental interventions during the pandemic, including virtual home visits. Receive live feedback from the panel by participating in the question-and-answer session during the webinar.
This webinar, the second in a three-part series, features speakers from the Boston Public Health Commission and Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Learn how the Environmental Scoring System has helped their asthma home visiting programs quantitatively assess asthma triggers. In addition to highlighting their evaluation results, our speakers describe the tool’s potential for use in other asthma programs.
This webinar, the first in a three-part series, focuses on the diverse pathways to reimbursement through Medicaid. The ‘state of reimbursement’ around the country is a trending topic and many program leaders are eager to hear concrete examples about ways they can begin or continue down the path toward sustainable financing. This webinar highlights content that can be used to help participants understand of the various stages of readiness and action, the path each of the speakers has traveled, and what the next steps are for each. Speakers offer lessons learned from their experiences and offer resources to help participants learn more.
Learn more about the changing landscape of healthcare coverage and how to prepare your own organization for existing opportunities in sustainable financing.
Hear Michael Kent, Hazardous Materials Ombudsman for Contra Costa Health Services, discuss his reflections on building a county-level model for reimagining asthma care, climate resilience and equity in Contra Costa County, California, where cross-sector health care and weatherization partners address the indoor environmental determinants of health (IEDOH) to improve community asthma outcomes.
This session will highlight one model for connecting solutions in clinical asthma care and health care payments with housing, energy services and public health home visiting to address IEDOH in low-quality housing where children and adults are disproportionately exposed to air pollution and environmental triggers that exacerbate asthma. We will spotlight population health innovations that proactively identify and seek to reduce household exposures, particularly where asthma health burden is disproportionate.
Learn about Contra Costa’s strategies and how they can inform your program!
Hear how a past winner of the National Environmental Leadership Award in Asthma Management has evolved since winning the Award. Learn best practices for achieving positive asthma health outcomes and sustained programmatic success.
The first session in this series, this Webinar provides an overview of the steps and standards of the CDC Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health. Nationally recognized evaluation expert Tom Chapel presents some of the typical challenges encountered in trying to do good program evaluation and shows how the Framework offers practical solutions to surmount these challenges to produce evaluation designs most likely to yield findings that can be used for program improvement.
