School Asthma Improvement Recommendation
In 2006, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released an asthma module for the School Health Index. The School Health Index (SHI) Self-Assessment & Planning Guide was developed by CDC in partnership with school administrators and staff, school health experts, parents, and national nongovernmental health and education agencies for the purpose of:
- Enabling schools to identify strengths and weaknesses of health and safety policies and programs,
- Enabling schools to develop an action plan for improving student health, which can be incorporated into the School Improvement Plan, and
- Engaging teachers, parents, students, and the community in promoting health-enhancing behaviors and better health.
We are promoting the School Health Index as a means to develop asthma management improvement recommendations for consideration by school administrators and boards. By working in teams, the step-by-step process of completing the School Health Index identifies strengths and opportunities for addressing all types of community health concerns, including asthma.
