The current project is located in San Antonio, Texas and involves five elementary campuses within the North East Independent School District where asthma prevalence rates are above the district average of 12% . These schools are considered economically disadvantaged and where asthma may be negatively impacting the students in meeting their full academic potential due to loss of instruction time and/or absenteeism. This is based on several metrics: prevalence rates, aggregate inhaler usage.
