CDC-RFA-EH-15-1503 “Promoting Access to Guidelines-Based Care for People with Asthma”. The award's purpose is to promote access to guidelines-based asthma care using health education and communication strategies that will result in measurable impacts. These efforts will be supported by core public health activities such as partnership engagement, workforce development, guidance and support for programmatic efforts, strategic communication, and evaluation. These infrastructure activities will support communication and education interventions tailored to multiple audiences, such as people with asthma and their caregivers, school personnel, and health care providers. Awardees will provide clear, consistent, and straightforward guidance on the delivery of asthma education for people with asthma, health professionals, and to the interactions between these two groups. As a result of these interventions, audiences will have the knowledge and skills to demand appropriate care (people with asthma) or deliver it (health care providers), and schools and communities will have the capacity to promote policies, systems, and environments that support people with asthma.
