2 Who are we? What do we do? Why are we here?
3 Climate Change and Health Curriculum Overview and Discussion Asthma Action Plans with Students Communicating Climate Change Evaluating Behavior Change Questions
4 What is climate change? Climate change is any change in average weather that lasts for a long period of time, like warming temperatures. Climate change affects the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. It also leads to extreme weather events, like flooding, droughts, and wildfires. All of these impacts affect human health. -U.S. EPA
5
6 Some examples: Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil Deforestation, land use changes Agricultural changes and cultivation practices used for grain and soil Humans have increased atmospheric CO 2 concentration by more than a third since the Industrial Revolution began -NASA
7 Health Climate Changes Temperature Sea Level Rise Ecosystems Weather-related deaths Infectious diseases Air quality - respiratory illnesses Agriculture Forests Precipitation Water Resources Loss of habitat and diversity Species range shifts Ecosystem services Land degradation Stratospheric ozone depletion Coastal Areas Pest management Irrigation demand Crop yields Desertification and land degradation Geographic range Health, composition, and productivity Changes in water quality, precipitation, and water supply Erosion and inundation of coastal lands Costs of protecting vulnerable lands
8 This curriculum is meant to explain climate change and its impact on those with asthma Students learn what they can do to help with climate change, so they feel empowered to make a difference We provide a take home kit for a natural cleaner that is eco-friendly and asthmafriendly
9 Introduce Climate Change How Climate Change Impacts Asthma Asthma symptoms Asthma triggers Protecting your health Integrated pest management
10 EPA (2017)
11 Climate change causes more air pollution and allergens. This affects people with allergies and asthma. Air pollution gets trapped in warm city air, so people who live in cities are affected even more. PDPH 2011
12 Symptoms Wheezing Coughing Chest Tightness Shortness of Breath Let s Learn More!
13 Using an inhaler and doctor-recommended medications (for quick relief and to prevent symptoms) Making changes in your environment to manage asthma triggers.

21 Integrated Pest Management What is that?!
22
23 Any destructive or troublesome organism Affect public health Destroy food or property Create a nuisance Rodent-chewed wire fire hazard! Cockroaches on trap diseases Something we don t like, where we don t want it! Mice nesting wherever! - allergens
24 Food It s why they are there! Water Every day Harborage Places to hide & nest Food Water Conditions Conducive for Pests Shelter
25 Talk to the school nurse about your asthma action plan. Teach your friends and family about climate change and what they can do about it. Take steps to make your home and neighborhood healthier. Get started by using our take-home kit!
26 5 minutes
27 Discuss the health impact of climate change with asthmatic students. Make sure every asthmatic student has an asthma action plan that includes environmental triggers to avoid. Check the daily air quality forecast and advise students accordingly. Additional: EPA Air Quality Flag Program

40 Nurse has consent to follow up with children who have asthma Also trying to find children with undiagnosed asthma, if possible Nurse will follow up immediately after the workshop with NNCC to assess the student s Asthma Action Plan 2 months later, nurse will give student survey
41 Do you have an asthma action plan? Yes or No If you answered yes Does your asthma action plan say what asthma triggers you should stay away from? Yes or No Since you learned about climate change, have you made changes to avoid triggers at home? Yes or No If you answered yes Give at least one example of a change you made
42 Since you learned about climate change, how often do you recycle? Never Sometimes Always Since you learned about climate change, have you used Integrated Pest Management in your home to prevent pests? Yes or No Since you learned about climate change, how often do you use your safe cleaning products kit? Never Sometimes Always Since you learned about climate change, how often do you talk about what you learned with your family and friends? Never Sometimes Always
43 NNCC is hoping to see that 80% of students report behavior change after the workshop We are also hoping to see that 80% of students report that they shared this knowledge with others We would also like to see that students have started taking responsible actions towards the environment after the workshop
