Introducing an environmental assessment and intervention program in inner-city schools

Introducing an environmental assessment and intervention program in inner-city schools JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY Huffaker, M., Phipatanakul, W. 2014; 134 (6): 1232-1237

Abstract

Home-based environmental interventions have demonstrated clinical benefit for children with asthma. Although much is known about school-based exposures, few studies have comprehensively examined the role the school environment plays in asthma and how effectively changing the environment might reduce morbidity when adjusting for exposures in the home. This review summarizes the importance and common challenges of school-based environmental assessment and intervention studies linked to health effects. We focus on the key components of study development and the challenges and benefits to implementation.
