Maureen Damitz and Joel J. Africk of Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago have been heavily involved in delivery of asthma self-management education to school children in Chicago using "Fight Asthma Now" an evidence-based, age appropriate program. The duo led participants in one of the three morning breakout sessions.
The attendees were broken down into four groups and each tackled issues related to: problem identification; development of success strategy; and identifying key stakeholders. One group identified their issue as an introduction to using "green" cleaning products and integrated pest management to improve indoor air quality. Joel gave the groups some advice related to numerical calculations. "Underestimate the true number of the affected population. If it's 300,000, tell them it's 200,000, that way they can't come back to you and say you were inflating your numbers. Also, think of your case as a selling document."
