Seattle has plenty of outdoor pollution from congested traffic, I-5 truck traffic, trains, airports, and industrial sources.  Also, ETS from adjoinging apartments can be problem.

Did you see any homes in your study that may have been impacted by such sources?  These impacts may have confounded some of your results.

Did you try any measures to mitigate the impact of such sources?

Who provides training for your CHWs and how do you do quality control and monitor fidelity to your intervention/education?

One of the things we have encountered with our program is that there is a barrier in communications in regards to being able to get a hold of families via email, phone call, text message, mail and unannounced visits.
What are the methods that your program employs to engage families and promote participation?

Your presentation mentioned 1,400 homes?  How many of these received a weatherization/housing intervention? I am curious about the average amount of funds expended in the homes.

Thanks.

We know that CHWs delivering environmental interventions and asthma education are cost-effective.  But when you add the cost of the weatherization team--which on the webinar ranged from $450-$21,000--is there evidence yet of cost-effectiveness? 

Any examples where the CHW is a member of a for-profit business?

You mentioned that you had great retention with your program - can you tell me why you think that was?  Did you offer any type of incentive?

I believe that the payment for the CHW and supplies component of this intervention was just over $400. That seemed quite low to sustain the project. Can you provide details?

Thank you.

Hello, please tell me how I can get a copy of this presentation to share with my team. 

Thank you,
