Quality-of-Life and Cost–Benefit Analysis of a Home Environmental Assessment Program in Connecticut

Background. The National Asthma Education Prevention Program's (NAEPP) Expert Panel Report 3 (EPR3) guidelines have stressed the need for environmental control measures for asthma, but there is limited evidence of their efficacy.
