The RI-AIR initiative involves the development, implementation, and evaluation of an integrated identification, screening, and referral network for children with asthma in Rhode Island. This will be made possible through a partnership with the Rhode Island Department of Health and additional funding from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to establish a Center for Asthma Empowerment. The Rhode Island Asthma Collaborative will facilitate data collection and referral to our evidence-based asthma programs for low-income families and will be implemented in school and home settings. It also involves an evaluation of the effectiveness of the program, through the assessment of individual and community-level asthma outcomes, and an annual process evaluation and assessment of future sustainability.
