abstract: 'The prevalence and burden of childhood asthma remain high and are

  increasing. Asthma hot spot neighborhoods around the country face

  particular challenges in controlling the effects of the condition.

  Increasing attention is being paid to developing interventions that

  recognize the child and family as the primary managers of disease and to

  introducing assistance that reaches beyond the clinical care setting

  into the places where families live and work. A range of types of

  community-focused interventions has been assessed in the past decade in

  schools, homes, and community health clinics, and programs using

  electronic media and phone links have been evaluated. Stronger evidence

  for all these approaches is needed. However, school-based programs and

  community coalitions designed to bring about policy and systems changes

  show particular promise for achieving sustainable improvements in asthma

  control. Research is needed that emphasizes comparisons among proven

  asthma control interventions, translation of effective approaches to new

  settings and communities, and institutionalization of effective

  strategies.'
