Healthy KidsAlbuquerque Public Schools in New Mexico receives funding from CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health to implement an asthma management program. The goals of Albuquerque’s asthma management program include reducing absenteeism among students with asthma, improving asthma management of students while in school, establishing and maintaining asthma-friendly schools, improving asthma management behaviors of all school staff, ensuring that students have access to health care, and ensuring that students with asthma have an identified primary care provider.

Albuquerque's Program In Action

Asthma Management

  • Collaborating with local, regional, and state agencies to maintain a high level of awareness and support for asthma management activities necessary to ensure that policies, procedures and resources are in place.
     
  • Providing asthma education and management training to nurses, mental health providers, school administrators and staff, and parents and community members at targeted schools and obtaining feedback from trained recipients for continuous improvement.
     
  • Implementing outreach and intervention activities such as Open Airways classes to students in grades 3-5 with moderate to severe asthma to align and leverage district partner resources, provide information and referrals to families, and offer evidence-based management to students in elementary and middle school.
