To make substantial progress in reducing disparities by improving the care of children at high risk of poor asthma outcomes, NHLBI supported researchers to design and develop comprehensive Asthma Care Implementation Programs (ACIP) that include evidence-based interventions from at least four different sectors that contribute to the care of children with asthma: medical care, families, home environment, and the community. Given the expectation that the ACIPs will be community based, investigators conducted community needs assessments.
