Starting in October 2010, the Montana Asthma Control Program convened researchers, clinicians, environmental health experts and other asthma partners from around the state to review the evidence related to asthma triggers and their health impact in Montana. The result is the consensus paper, An Overview of Environmental Asthma Triggers in Montana.

The paper summarizes clinical and policy recommendations, patient resources, and research needs related to asthma in Montana.

Findings from the Washington Heights/Inwood Network (WIN) for Asthma program were featured in an online article of the American Journal of Public Health. The article, "Community Health Workers as Drivers of a Successful Community-Based Disease Management Initiative," points to the importance of community health workers in bridging gaps in care, providing culturally appropriate education and services and connecting families to the best clinical and social resources for those most in need.
