The State Honor Roll of Asthma and Allergy School Policies (www.statehonorroll.org) is an annual research project of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) to identify states with the most comprehensive and preferred statewide public policies supporting people with asthma, food allergies, anaphylaxis risk and related allergic diseases in U.S. elementary, middle and high schools. The goal of this report is to identify state-level progress towards better school-based policies, and to provide a blueprint for asthma and allergy advocates nationwide. 

Six states have been named to AAFA's Honor Roll this year: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
