The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) State Honor Roll of Asthma and Allergy Policies for Schools, www.StateHonorRoll.org, is an annual research project to help identify states with the most comprehensive and preferred statewide public policies supporting people with asthma, food allergies, anaphylaxis and related allergic diseases in US elementary, middle and high schools. The goal of this report is to identify state-level progress towards better school-based policies, and to provide a blueprint for advocates nationwide.

The Massachusetts Strategic Plan for Asthma is the first state asthma plan in the nation to address how primary prevention can reduce the onset of asthma. This Strategic Plan outlines goals and funding mechanisms to promote partnerships and services that ensure healthy populations stay that way: healthy and asthma-free.

AHIP and EPA began a three year cooperative agreement in October 2014. As part of this collaboration, the organizations will identify and disseminate promising health plan interventions that help prevent asthma episodes and promote asthma management among culturally diverse populations. This webinar series helps in disseminating health plan efforts to incorporate environmental interventions into comprehensive asthma care programs. 

Watch this webinar to learn more about EPA and AHIP's mission to bridge the disparities gap through their role in connecting providers and communities to deliver sustainable in-home asthma care services.
