California Breathing tracks asthma and develops programs to address
asthma in the State's most vulnerable communities. 
The California Department of Public Health’s state asthma program, California Breathing (CB), will host a three-part webinar series about asthma control strategies in California.

Please join us in this series to learn about:
  • asthma surveillance
  • the Asthma Management Academy, a statewide asthma self-management education program for community health workers (CHWs)
  • asthma control strategies from California clinical and non-clinical stakeholders


The Burden of Asthma in California
September 14, 10:30am-12pm PDT
Using statewide asthma surveillance data, CB will describe the burden of asthma and how certain populations are disproportionately affected by asthma. We will also gather feedback on how CB can make asthma surveillance data more useful and accessible.
Asthma Management Academy
October 19, 10:30am-12pm PDT
CB will cover how, where and with whom the Asthma Management Academy (AsMA) has been implemented over the past four years. We will share results showing the positive impact the AsMA has had on knowledge, skills, asthma services and patient health outcomes. We will also gather feedback on how we can improve the AsMA, our evaluation efforts, and ideas to make the AsMA a sustainable program.
Asthma Control Strategies
Assessment and Recommendations
November 16, 10:30am-12pm PST
In February 2020, CB assessed which asthma control strategies are implemented across California. We will share whether and how asthma control strategies are being implemented in communities across California, identify gaps in services, and share evidence-based recommendations to improve asthma control. We will also gather feedback from webinar participants on these recommendations and how to elevate current best practices to improve asthma control in California communities.
