Implementation Support

Checklists: The checklist translates the Bree guidelines into action steps for that sector (i.e., clinician, health delivery site, public health, etc.). The action items have been arranged into levels 1, 2, and 3 to correspond to the difficulty level of implementing the action into the sectors’ setting. Bree staff co-created the checklists with report workgroup members and topic experts.

Asthma is the most common chronic disease among children, with many potential risk factors including smoking,
obesity, family history, and environmental triggers, or adverse childhood childhood experiences. In Washington state nearly 120,000 children have been diagnosed with asthma, accounting for between 8 to 11 percent of children in middle and high school. As asthma cannot be cured but can be effectively managed, there is a need for strong treatment and mitigation plans to prevent burden of disease among youth in Washington.
