Asthma Initiative of Michigan Plan
This plan provides direction for the Asthma Initiative of Michigan (AIM) and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Asthma Prevention and Control Program (MiAPCP) to address the asthma burden in Michigan. It adopts a systems and policy change approach, prioritizing disparity reduction and health equity. Key strategic pillars, structured around the CDC's EXHALE initiatives, include education on asthma self-management, reduction of smoking and secondhand smoke, home visits for trigger reduction, promotion of guidelines-based medical management, coordination of care across settings, and implementation of environmental policies to reduce triggers. The overall aim is to achieve reduced disparities in asthma outcomes and enhance the quality of life for all Michigan residents, particularly within populations experiencing a higher burden of asthma.
