| Visit Type | visit_type | text | Types are Initial visits and Revisits. At the initial visit an HNP surveyor gathers information about the building, primary respondent and residents and conducts an assessment of the conditions of the home. At this visit, the surveyor provides the HNP interventions and guidance to assist residents in addressing potential health and safety hazards. About 25% of these homes are revisited 3-6 months after the initial visit. Homes needing a revisit are prioritized on the overall or severity of the conditions identified at the initial visit or homes with residents with asthma. The home is reassessed for ongoing or new conditions and additional interventions are provided as needed. | Initial visits Revisits view top 100 |
