The Rhode Island Asthma Integrated Response (RI-AIR) program addresses childhood asthma disparities by tailoring interventions and improving communication between families, schools, and healthcare providers. This community-engaged approach aims to reduce health inequities in urban children.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Environmental Health
- Health Disparities
Background:
- Asthma disproportionately affects urban children, especially Black and Latino youth.
- Rhode Island (RI) faces a high prevalence of childhood asthma.
- Existing asthma care gaps in RI require a comprehensive, community-informed approach.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify factors contributing to asthma care disparities in RI.
- To develop the Rhode Island Asthma Integrated Response (RI-AIR) Program.
- To create a coordinated system for asthma assessment and intervention.
Main Methods:
- Established the RI-AIR Collaborative with community partners.
- Analyzed state and hospital health data, conducted interviews and focus groups.
- Utilized geospatial mapping and assessed existing school/home programs.
Main Results:
- Identified key gaps and strengths in RI's asthma care landscape.
- Highlighted the need for tailored interventions and improved inter-sector communication.
- Confirmed existing strengths in school/home interventions and community partnerships.
Conclusions:
- Developed RI-AIR, a coordinated system for tailored, risk-based asthma interventions.
- RI-AIR facilitates communication across healthcare, school, and home settings.
- The program represents an innovative, community-engaged strategy to combat asthma disparities.
