The Montana Asthma Home Visiting Program (MAP)

The Montana Asthma home visiting Program (MAP) provides free asthma education for people of all ages with uncontrolled asthma. Examples of topics covered in the curriculum are what asthma is, how to control your asthma, and how to avoid asthma triggers. The curriculum was developed based on medical guidelines and research from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The program includes 6 interactions with a trained healthcare provider over the course of one year. During these interactions participants receive:

  • Asthma education
  • Home environmental assessment to identify possible asthma triggers
  • Incentives like free spacers, HEPA air purifiers, and replacement HEPA filters
