The AHERA regulations called for the inspection of all elementary and secondary schools in the nation to identify any asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) present, and the conduct of specified other tasks related to asbestos in schools. The AHERA evaluation consisted of six separate research areas to address each of the primary components of AHERA. These were: school building inspections, management plans, response actions, original AHERA inspector evaluation, notification, and maintenance and custodial worker training. The final report presents a detailed description of the methodology of the evaluation, statistical techniques used, and all of the research findings in the six research areas.
