The CDC and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute have developed a publication, "Managing Asthma in Schools—What Have We Learned?", that provides updated information on developing, implementing, and evaluating school-based asthma programs. This special issue of the American School Health Association’s Journal of School Health features more than 25 research articles, brief reports, and case studies that cover a range of activities, such as asthma education programs for students and staff members, asthma-related health services, and policy changes. It also includes an up-to-date list of resources for school-based asthma programs.
