The US EPA offers a School Flag Program to raise awareness about air quality conditions by raising flags in front of schools during the week.

Ozone and Your Patients' Health is a short, evidence-based training course designed for family practice doctors, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, asthma educators and other medical professionals who counsel patients about asthma and respiratory symptoms.

This is a free, online training module/video that has been developed specifically for public health nurses and certified asthma educators, although it could be used with a broad audience. This program teaches about triggers of asthma found in homes and suggests simple interventions that can limit or eliminate exposure to these asthma triggers.
