Implementing effective asthma programs in schools is challenging. This case study shows how one district prepared its environment for successful, large-scale asthma program adoption, focusing on readiness.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric respiratory health
  • School health programs
  • Implementation science

Background:

  • Asthma is a prevalent chronic childhood illness causing significant school absenteeism and educational gaps.
  • Effective school-based asthma management programs exist but face implementation barriers in real-world settings.
  • Successful program adoption hinges on the readiness of the school environment, an often-underestimated factor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case study of a large school district's process in preparing for the broad implementation of a school-centered asthma program.
  • To highlight the critical role of school environment readiness in the successful adoption of health interventions.
  • To share lessons learned in overcoming common implementation challenges.
