Evaluating home-based, multicomponent, multi-trigger interventions: your results may vary
Wilce MA , Garbe PL . Am J Prev Med 2011 41 S52-4 In public health, we operate in a world of tight resources, making the best decisions possible to maximize benefits to people with asthma, their families, and our communities. The use of evidence-based interventions is an effective way to build on experience by implementing interventions that have shown previous effectiveness. The systematic review published in this supplement to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine was completed in order to identify effective asthma interventions for reducing asthma morbidity in a community setting.1, 2, 3 The plan is to use the information to guide funded programs on how to best allocate their resources, as well as to direct our own research and evaluation efforts at the national level. Home-based asthma interventions were chosen for the review in order to focus on efforts to reduce indoor asthma triggers because this type of intervention is used more and more at the state level, and there is not much information summarizing the effectiveness of these interventions on a community level. | The two Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide) reviews2, 3 together are invaluable resources to help us make the right decisions for our programs and, ultimately help people with asthma and their families. These Community Guide reviews are exciting: They give us evidence that home-based environmental interventions can improve the lives of children with asthma and their families. Moreover, moderate-intensity interventions can be cost effective. |
