 Spotlight
on an Innovative Tribal Program |
| The Native Asthma Intervention & Reduction (AIR) Asthma Education Program
The Native AIR Asthma Education Program began in 2006 to help tribal families in seven Montana reservations learn about asthma, asthma triggers, and how to prevent or control asthma. They created interactive educational materials to help children learn to visually identify triggers in their environment and track their progress. For their caregivers, the program created information about how to identify what environmental factors trigger their children’s asthma, and how to manage those environmental triggers. With a grant through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the reservations’ Project Community Leaders have formed strong partnerships with youth-focused organizations and agencies, hold educational area meetings for youth and adults, and post upcoming events on the program’s Web site to spearhead their efforts to raise awareness about the management of environmental asthma triggers.
