This agreement supported the implementation and coordination of the EXHALE technical package, which is comprised of six evidence-based asthma interventions. The interventions included education on asthma selfmanagement, extinguishing smoking and second-hand smoke, home visits for trigger reduction and asthma self-management education (ASME), achievement of guidelines-based medical management, linkages and coordination of care, and environmental policies to reduce indoor and outdoor asthma triggers. The PA ACP has existed since 2006 through the collective efforts of state and community partners establishing better asthma care and related services.  \nPublic Health Management Corporation’s (PHMC) Research & Evaluation Group (R&E), contracted by the PA Department of Health (DOH), continued evaluation of the ACP activities. The evaluation addressed the primary concerns of internal quality improvement and reporting requirements as described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the cooperative agreement. This report (a) provides an overview of the Year 4 evaluation activities; (b) summarizes formative findings; and (c) describes outcomes as they relate to the CDC’s four overarching evaluation questions.  \nSummary of Evaluation Activities  \nAt the beginning of Year 4, the team submitted the Year 3 evaluation report and performance measures. Evaluators documented actions resulting from the Year 3 evaluation report in a tracking tool. As the program began its final year of funding under the current cooperative agreement, DOH and evaluators agreed not to revise the Strategic Evaluation Plan and Data Management Plan. Evaluation activities focused on gathering data to speak to evaluation questions not yet addressed and obtain larger sample sizes where needed. Specifically, evaluators facilitated meetings, coordinated data collection with funded partners, interview","cbCaiuE9nm2tW7eK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuE9nm2tW7eK","pdf",777190,28,"English","# Introduction\n# Summary of Evaluation Activities\n# Brief Findings by Program Component\n## School based asthma self-management education and services\n## Smoking cessation services and referrals\n## Community-based services\n## Home visit services\n## Asthma friendly policy promotion\n## Implementation of quality improvement processes to establish & encourage guideline-based care\n## Pennsylvania Asthma Partnership\n# Next Steps\n# Appendix A.
