Schooled in Asthma

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) received funding through a 5-year cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH). 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.
