• Design and successfully implement a strategy to identify, collect and use data with low-cost, easy-to-use tools (e.g. School IAQ Assessment Mobile App) to start, improve or sustain a comprehensive IAQ and asthma management program.
• Employ evidence-based strategies and proven practices that are being used in school-based health centers across the country to reduce exposure to environmental asthma triggers.
