Health Care Setting

This webinar will highlight one of the modules included in CEHN's revised training resource titled "Training Manual on Pediatric Environmental Health: Putting It Into Practice".

The presentations will provide participants with an overview of the Environmental Management of Pediatric Asthma: Guidelines for Health Care Providers. They will include an outline of relevant competencies in environmental health and discuss the importance of interventions to control environmental hazards in children's homes and other primary settings as part of a complete pediatric asthma management plan. Information on helpful resources will also be provided. Join the Children's Environmental Health Network (CEHN) and the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) for the first of our 2013 children's environmental health webinar series.

This form focuses on environmental triggers and was developed as an initial intake tool specifically for children already diagnosed with asthma.

NEEF’s Diagnosis and Management of Asthma Tool Card is a convenient resource for health care providers. The 4”x6”pocket-sized reference card lists the priority recommendations from the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program’s Guidelines Implementation Panel Report for the NHLBI’s asthma guidelines (EPR-3). The tool card also provides NEEF and NHLBI asthma resources for quick references on asthma diagnosis, management and control. Provides additional resources including information on environmental triggers.
