Program Impact

This page summarizes the evidence from existing studies (through March 2007) of the likely impact of the asthma program on health care and productivity measures. If you have your own evidence, possibly from a pilot study, input it here. More details on this page may be found on the User's Guide page.

Health Care Measures:		Productivity Measures:
Program impact on emergency department visits?*		Program impact on missed work days per adult?*
Program impact on hospital stays?*		Program impact on missed school days per child?*
Program impact on outpatient visits?*
Program impact on the cost of ancillary services?*
Program impact on the cost of asthma medications?*

* Negative percentages are a decrease and positive percentages are an increase in health care use, cost, or missed days.
