A Cost-Benefit Analysis of a State-Funded Healthy Homes Program for Residents With Asthma: Findings From the New York State Healthy Neighborhoods Program.

Context: Despite considerable evidence that the economic and other benefits of asthma home visits far exceed their cost, few health care payers reimburse or provide coverage for these services.

Objective: To evaluate the cost and savings of the asthma intervention of a state-funded healthy homes program.

Design: Pre- versus postintervention comparisons of asthma outcomes for visits conducted during 2008-2012.

An Evaluation of a State-Funded Healthy Homes Intervention on Asthma Outcomes in Adults and Children.

Context: Reducing exposure to environmental triggers is a critical part of asthma management.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a healthy homes intervention on asthma outcomes and assess the impact of different targeting strategies.

Setting: The New York State (NYS) Healthy Neighborhoods Program (HNP) operates in select communities with a higher burden of housing-related illness and associated risk factors.

The New York State Healthy Neighborhoods Program: Findings From an Evaluation of a Large-Scale, Multisite, State-Funded Healthy Homes Program.

Context: A growing evidence base suggests that a comprehensive healthy homes approach may be an effective strategy for improving housing hazards that affect health, but questions remain about the feasibility of large-scale implementation.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a large-scale, multisite, state-funded healthy homes program.

Setting: Homes in high-risk neighborhoods of 13 counties funded under the New York State Healthy Neighborhoods Program (NYS HNP) from 2008 to 2012.

Comparison of indoor air quality management strategies between the school and district levels in New York State.

Background: Good school indoor air quality (IAQ) can affect the health and functioning of school occupants. Thus, it is important to assess the degree to which schools and districts employ strategies to ensure good IAQ management. We examined and compared the patterns of IAQ management strategies between public elementary schools and their school districts in New York State.
