Implementation Guide

The Healthy Pest Free Housing Initiative (HPFHI) is an innovative community demonstration project designed to reduce environmental health risks and asthma among residents of Boston public housing, in homes and communities. Through education, outreach, and systems change, HPFHI is reducing pest infestation, while changing individual and community pest control practices.

Here in one location, you can find resources including clinical guidelines, patient education and self-management materials, policy briefs, asthma reports, clinical toolkits, mobile technology and asthma information, and smoking cessation and tobacco materials.

Many of the resources are available in both English and Spanish, and some in other languages, including Chinese. Also included are a variety of multimedia tools such as videos and interactive web sites. There are even links to asthma-related training courses where continuing education credits are available.

Developed by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this guide aims to assist evaluators and their clients in the process of engaging stakeholders—those with a stake or interest in the program, policy, or initiative being evaluated. The guide should assist philanthropy, but also the field of evaluation more generally, as it seeks to increase the value and usefulness of evaluation.
