  • HIPPY for Healthy Home Program: Results of Pre and Post Surveys Addressing Indoor Air Quality Contaminants in Arkansas Homes

    Journal of Community Medicine & Health Education

    The HIPPY for Healthy Homes was a collaborative effort between the UAMS’ College of Public Health and the children community and outreach organization Home School Instruction for Parents of Pre- School Youngsters (HIPPY) to build capacity in the State for education and health protection from hazards in the home.

    The HIPPY for Healthy Homes was a collaborative effort between the UAMS’ College of Public Health and the children community and outreach organization Home School Instruction for Parents of Pre- School Youngsters (HIPPY) to build capacity in the State for education and health protection from hazards in the home. The project involved curriculum development for parents of these children and training of HIPPY coordinators and home-based outreach educators in 6 regions of the State on specific indoor air hazards, and training on deliver of this curriculum. Radon, mould, carbon monoxide, and asthma and allergy triggers were identified as key indoor contaminants, not currently addressed in any HIPPY program curriculum, having the potential to contribute to respiratory and other illness in the home, and of particular interest to this State. The objectives of this project were designed to address the EPA’s Region 6’s Priority Project Areas of “promoting integrated approaches to reducing exposures and risks to indoor contaminants in the homes” and “training of community health workers” to assist parents and families in managing indoor asthma triggers and other contaminants affecting respiratory illnesses. The organization Arkansas HIPPY is a home-based, home intervention and educational program serving over 5000 children a year in the State of Arkansas, by using at any one time approximately 50 Home Based Coordinators (HBCs) and 250 Home-Based Educators (HBEs) to reach parents. Each HBC will oversee anywhere from 3-6 HBEs and coordinate activities with the HIPPY director at the State Level. Researchers on this project wanted to expand the role of home-based educators in the program by equipping them with knowledge on key home hazards they could share with parents and children in the program.
