Overview

TURI funded the town of Hudson to create toolkits and resources for indoor integrated pest management (IPM) and healthy household cleaners.   This grant is designed to improved health outcomes and contain health care costs by bringing municipal, health care, and community based organizations together to address specific health conditions.  Among the health conditions to be addressed is pediatric asthma.  Toolkits will be distributed during asthma home assessments and at health care and community locations.
