Pediatric Asthma Initiative
NEEF launched the Pediatric Asthma Initiative in partnership with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The initiative is a long-term project in order to integrate environmental management of asthma into pediatric medical and nursing education and practice.
Under the leadership of the Initiative's steering committee, Environmental Management of Pediatric Asthma: Guidelines for Health Care Providers was developed. This peer-reviewed document includes competencies for environmental management of asthma, an environmental history form, and environmental intervention guidelines, which are built on best current practices and scientific literature. They are founded upon NAEPP Guidelines and are intended to be used by health care providers in conjunction with its clinical and pharmacological components, as part of a child's comprehensive asthma management plan.
