The Asthma Trigger House is a web based serious type health education game

The faculty and students at Stony Brook Children’s, Stony Brook University, and Downstate Health Sciences University and the American Lung Association’s health promotions staff have created a fun learning tool called the Asthma Trigger House.

Use this tool to find and learn about common asthma triggers in a home. There are four rooms in our house to visit. Click on an item in the room to learn if it is a trigger and how to avoid or reduce the trigger.

The 2024 winner of the National Environmental Leadership Award in Asthma Management, the Maine Asthma Prevention and Control Program, commissioned a formative, mixed-methods evaluation to better understand the progress that landlords have been making in Maine to prevent and address environmental hazards within their rental unites, as well as the effective methods to reach and support landlords with these efforts. Maine CDC used this evaluation to improve program efficacy and demonstrate the improved asthma outcomes that the program achieved. This resource documents the evaluation methods and findings.
