Live Online Q&A from 2/1/12 Webinar

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. 

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.

For both presenters:  each of you have well established programs.  How would you use the relatively small $25,000 grant to build a program?

Boston: What suggestions do you have for overcoming opposition to
adopting and implementing smoke-free housing policies in public housing?
Many of our coalition members are concerned about these policies,
especially in low-income or rent controlled housing due to the threat of
eviction. They feel that if low income residents are evicted for their
addiction, they will be homeless.

Thank you!

Hi Amanda,

Can you please provide some examples of your most successful high performing collaborations?  Did you organize a task force or some other body that would meet on a regular basis to facilitate communication and build trust among a variety of organizations?

Thanks,

Pierre (DC Lead and Healthy Housing Program, District Dept. of the Environment)

Have you engaged in any innovative financing arrangements to fund home-based asthma interventions?
