BACKGROUNDIn the United States, approximately 14% of children are diagnosed with asthma. 1 The burden of asthma varies nationwide, and some communities have a higher prevalence of the chronic lung disease. For example, among the approximately 2,000 students in Kennett Public Schools (KPS) in southeast Missouri, about 18% have asthma. In 2008, KPS started addressing students’ health needs through a five-year Missouri Foundation for Health grant to implement an asthma management program. District staff developed the program in collaboration with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, University of Missouri School of Medicine, and the Missouri Foundation for Health. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-funded Missouri Asthma Prevention and Control Program contributed expertise in school-based asthma-related programming.
