Adolescent With Asthma

Experts recommend that both schools and families have a current asthma action plan for all school aged children with asthma. This CDPH approved plan includes important consent and authorization language as required by law (developed in statewide partnership with asthma stakeholders). Additional translations are available in CAPHI resources for schools.

We offer 2 main programs: An asthma outreach worker program and home environmental assessment training and visits. Tools available on the website include:
1. Do-It-Yourself Home Environmental Assessment and 2) Searching for a Healthy Home.
