Asthma

NACDD supported recipients of CDC’s National Asthma Control Program (NACP) through the National Asthma Control Program Collaborative. Launched in 2023, this collaborative brought NACP recipients together to share promising practices, explore health information approaches, and identify creative ways to strengthen EXHALE strategies.

The support provided to NACP recipients focused on:

  • Providing opportunities for recipients and national partners to share expertise and improve asthma programs and services.
  • Exploring how electronic health records could support disease tracking and management.

Through facilitated discussions, NACP recipients explored approaches to monitor asthma burden within the EXHALE strategies.

Stories from the Field

A core component of the NACP Collaborative is learning from one another. As a Member of NACDD, you can also submit stories to our What’s Working in Chronic Disease Prevention and Control database. This is a great way to share your successes with leaders, policymakers, and other chronic disease professionals across the country.
