The Helping Children Breathe and Thrive in Chicago’s Public Housing (HCBT) project was developed based upon previous asthma interventions implemented at SUHI, mainly the Healthy Home, Healthy Child (HHHC) initiative. HHHC has proven to be an effective model for addressing poorly controlled asthma in the primarily African American, underserved community of North Lawndale. HCBT built upon this model in order to translate it to Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) properties.

A study published in Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonology examines how tailored evidence-based interventions assist low-income communities with high rates of pediatric asthma morbidity. The study, which examined data from MCAN Phase 1 Program Sites, assessed impact by examining rate of hospitalizations and daily use of a controller medication.

Explore how our initiative to combat childhood asthma made a difference in our region, and how it lives on today.

In recent years, defilement of the air has significantly impacted the health and hygiene of the population at large. In order to address this issue properly, information is needed on the particulates responsible for affecting the quality of air both outdoor as well as indoors. Pollutants vary greatly in their composition, as well as from place to place. Data is required to interpret a correlation between particulates with that of health and hygiene. This information may signify an overall idea about the air that composes an environment and its quality.
