In this Highline Communities Healthy
Homes Project, we used a quasi-experimental
design to determine whether adding weatherization-plus-health
structural interventions to
an existing home CHW home visit program
resulted in greater reductions in asthma morbidity
and exposure to home asthma triggers
than reductions achieved for the historical
HH-II comparison group receiving CHW home
education visits alone. Over 100 000 homes
are weatherized each year,40 yet we found
no studies that examined the impact of weatherization
work on resident asthma outcomes
