The Community Asthma Prevention Program (CAPP) offers free education and care coordination support to families of children in Philadelphia with asthma. The curriculum used is based on You Can Control Asthma©, developed at Georgetown University, and classes are structured so that both caregivers and children can learn simultaneously.
CAPP works in many Philadelphia communities to provide:
- Free asthma education classes in familiar environments, such as schools, churches, daycare centers and community centers throughout the city.
- Home visits in Philadelphia and Montgomery counties to address the home environment of children with asthma and to provide one-on-one education.
- Asthma resources for professionals, students and school personnel.
- Classes for caregivers and their children are group-facilitated and led by trained community peer educators. Our goal in using a "train the trainer" model is to leave neighborhoods and communities with lay asthma experts in order to sustain asthma management and prevention efforts.
- Asthma 101 Workshops for school personnel that cover asthma care management, asthma triggers in the environment and medication.
