[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0x8n9or. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Asthma symptoms are triggered and exacerbated by many risk factors found in homes and community environments. Interventions designed to reduce or eliminate these triggers-such as patient self-management education, home visits and care coordination by asthma educators and community health workers, and supplies to mitigate environmental asthma triggers-can greatly decrease asthma morbidity. However, many of these evidence-based interventions and services fall outside of traditional clinical health-care interventions included in care delivery systems and reimbursed by insurers. This installment of Law and the Public's Health reviews the role Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and private insurers can play to promote public health through community-based asthma prevention.
