About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether support from an asthma navigator helps families after a child leaves the hospital. An asthma navigator helps families with asthma care. The study is for caregivers and their children ages 4–12 who are in the hospital for an asthma flare-up.

Caregiver-child dyads will be recruited during child's hospital admission for asthma exacerbation. Recruitment sites will be mainly Children's National Hospital Sheikh Zayed campus, as well as regional partners: Holy Cross Hospital, and Mary Washington Hospital. After enrollment, baseline data will be collected from caregiver. Caregiver-child dyads will be randomized (1:1 ratio) into the control arm or intervention arm. Control arm will receive the standard of care after hospital discharge. Intervention arm will receive the SOC plus an asthma navigator support after hospital discharge. Caregivers in both arms will complete data collection surveys (either in-person or via telehealth) at 3-,6-, 9-, and 12- month post enrollment.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
