About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether low-cost steps to reduce dampness and mold in homes can help children with asthma. It is for families with a child under 18 with asthma who live in Cleveland or nearby suburbs. One group gets the home changes during the study, and the other gets them after the study.

The goal of this intervention study is to assess the effectiveness of low-cost humidity and mold reduction interventions in the home for reducing pediatric asthma. The study will have two groups, a treatment group that receives the healthy home interventions during the study and a second control group that will receive these after the study. We will compare pediatric asthma before and three months after the healthy home interventions are performed.

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