IPM

Can you send us results of your IPM efforts as a contributor to reducing asthma? I work with low income families in mult-unit housing where it's very difficult to enforce landlord participation in the process. I piloted an IPM project and reduced asthma triggers but did not study affect on  asthma.   

This page has a lot of great links on IPM, including information on health impact and a slide show for landlords: http://www.cahealthyhousing.org/ipm

 

Hi,

There is good information showing IPM reduces allergens and I recall that other research reviews have shown positive improvements and reduced asthma impacts. I suggest as a starting point are the clinical practice guidelines from the ACAAI/AAAAI. You can find them here:

You can contact me if you have any trouble, kkennedy@cmh.edu
