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.
