About this study

In plain language

Project ASTHMA tests whether care at school health centers can improve asthma control in children from communities that face unfair gaps in health care. The care includes asthma checkups, help with medicines to prevent symptoms, watching children take these medicines, and teaching children how to manage asthma.

Children with asthma from communities that experience health inequities frequently do not receive guideline-based asthma care, and as a result, account for a disproportionate percentage of asthma exacerbations, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations. Project ASTHMA (Aligning with Schools To Help Manage Asthma) tests the effectiveness of school-based health centers as a delivery model to improve health outcomes by providing children with guideline-based asthma assessments and preventive medication management, directly observed therapy of their preventive medication to support adherence, and self-management support. If successful, this multicomponent intervention will represent a cost effective and sustainable model to reduce asthma morbidity in historically marginalized communities, and has the potential to impact communities throughout the United States where over 2,500 school-based health centers operate.

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