Air Matters

The AIRMatters Toolkit

The AIRMatters toolkit is a pre-assembled set of 16 different tools that promote home health and safety by educating and engaging residents. It includes culturally-tailored messages designed to engage residents, giving them cues on how to protect themselves from health and safety hazards. The tools in the kit either measure or control and abate contaminants, and target behaviors that are feasible and within a resident’s locus of control, such as humidity, dust-mite antigens, and household cleaning products. Tribes have the option of ordering a pre-assembled core AIRMatters toolkit or customizing the components of their toolkits.

The kit is not intended to replace the evidence-based practices that are the national standard for outreach, including the “Asthma Home Visit” model, or the “Healthy Home Checklist”. Rather, the kit is intended to advance the efficacy of these practices, by moving residents along the continuum from education to empowerment, and from knowledge to action.

These kits can be customized with specific tools for your residents and families.

• Hygrometer
• Digital Wood Moisture Meter
• Carbon Monoxide Detector
• Green Cleaning Kit
• Surface Mold Removal Kit
• Non-Toxic Pest Traps
• Lead Paint Detection Kit
• Radon Gas Detection Kit
• Allergen Free Pillowcase
• Cue Cards
• Chimney Thermometer

In Person Training

In addition to technical assistance, we are able to provide on-site training for your tribal staff. Through our AIRMatters program, we are able to send a trained Healthy Home specialist to your tribe for a 1-2 day intensive, hands-on training session. This training is not included in the cost of your toolkit order.

Webinars

Webinars are an affordable alternative to on-site training. THHN holds quarterly webinars, 90 minutes in length, focusing on a training topic selected by tribes. Guest panelists are specialists in their field and available as a resource after the webinars. To see examples of our previous webinars, or to replay and see the slides from any of these webinars, click on the icons below. We also invite you to suggest a topic that you would like us to feature, or to tell us about work you are doing that we can highlight on our next webinar.
