Mobilizing School-Based Health Centers in Managing Children’s Asthma

PHI’s Regional Asthma Management and Prevention (RAMP) program is working to strengthen the capacity of school-based health centers (SBHCs) in the environmental management of asthma. In 2017, RAMP built the capacity of over 450 SBHC staff through trainings in 6 states and through national webinars, equipping them to improve asthma management and prevention for up to 2 million children.

The program also developed the Asthma Environmental Interventions Guide for School-Based Health Centers and disseminated it to over 3,000 people; supported 18 SBHCs in the implementation of asthma environmental interventions; and developed and disseminated 10 case studies to show what works.
