airmatters Toolkit
What is the airmatters Toolkit Program?
The airmatters program moves beyond traditional indoor air quality education, empowering residents to take a hands-on, active, and informed role in protecting their families from indoor air hazards. The toolkit includes a preassembled set of 18 tools, instruments, videos, and materials that help detect, monitor, and reduce exposure to common indoor air quality hazards. None of the tools alone can prevent indoor air hazards, but together, the tools have been shown to engage residents, promote behavior change and reduce risk.
How does it work?
The kit is not intended to replace the evidence-based practices that are the national standard for outreach, including the “Asthma Home Visit” model, or the “Healthy Home Checklist”. Rather, the kit is intended to advance the efficacy of these practices, by moving residents along the continuum from education to empowerment, and from knowledge to action. Kits are used for outreach, as part of indoor air assessments and remediation, as part of asthma-home visit programs, and as community-based outreach tools.
