Background: This article examines results and lessons learned from a collaborative project involving a large urban school district, its county health department, multiple community partners, and the local university to establish an effective system for data sharing to inform monitoring and evaluation of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) Asthma Education Program (AEP).
Methods: Databases maintained by nurses, program staff, and school personnel were integrated into a single AEP Evaluation Database.
Results: There were a number of positive findings, including evidence that students with an elevated level of need received priority from AEP.
