This is the second webinar in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Indoor Environments Division’s new webinar series: Solving for the Indoor Environmental Determinants of Health (IEDOH) in Asthma.

In this webinar, "Weatherization’s Effects on Pediatric Asthma: Evidence From a Natural Experiment," learn from experts about—

  • Maximizing impact with limited funds by partnering with such programs as weatherization, whose primary interventions (i.e., air sealing and insulating homes) are not common in asthma home visiting but may be widely beneficial for asthma.
  • Evidence from an important natural experiment in Kansas City, Missouri, on the effects of weatherization and improved thermal comfort in homes on pediatric asthma outcomes.
