Schooled
in Asthma
The Schooled in Asthma project
developed, implemented, and is currently evaluating a training program encouraging pediatricians to incorporate
school health concepts with current asthma treatment guidelines. In part, it encouraged the use of Asthma Management
Plans as well as increased communication between school personnel and pediatricians. This program also encouraged
the participation of pediatricians in chapter level projects surrounding school health and asthma issues. |
