Comprehensive Asthma Control Through Evidence-based Strategies and Public Health¿Health Care Collaboration

archived

The award’s purpose is to maximize the reach, impact, efficiency, and sustainability of comprehensive asthma control services. This entails providing a seamless alignment of the full array of services across the public health and health care sectors, so that people with asthma receive all, not just some, of the services they need. Providing comprehensive care at a population level requires a stepwise approach. The first step is to ensure the availability of and access to guidelines-based medical management and pharmacotherapy for all people with asthma. Then, for the segment of people whose asthma remains poorly controlled, additional next steps provide or link them with progressively more individualized services.
