Abstract
Evaluation of: Woods ER, Bhaumik U, Sommer SJ et al. Community asthma initiative: evaluation of a quality improvement program for comprehensive asthma care. Pediatrics 129(3), 465–472 (2012).The Community Asthma Initiative is an evidence-based asthma intervention that is effective in improving quality of life for inner-city African–American and Latino children, while showing a return on investment of US$1.46, due to lower asthma-related hospital costs. The program provides an example of a comprehensive asthma management model that could be disseminated nationally with the goal of reducing asthma disparities. The health of children disproportionately affected by asthma could also be improved by integrating a broad range of housing policies into evidence-based asthma interventions in communities with high-pediatric asthma morbidity. Such interventions will be costly, but are likely to achieve long-term sustainable health benefits for children with asthma.
