Environmental Management of Pediatric Asthma for Nursing Professionals
Hosted by the Mid-Atlantic Center for Health and the Environment in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency, the American Lung Association, and the PA Asthma Partnership

The environment plays a critical role in control of a child’s asthma, and with over 7.1 million children affected by asthma (CDC, 2013), nurses must work together to reduce asthma related morbidity. Changes in the environment have likely caused the increased prevalence in childhood asthma, and in this presentation, participants will learn how to recognize, remediate and counsel caregivers and patients on the reduction of environmental contributions to pediatric asthma.
