About this study

In plain language

This study tests REACH, a service that helps medical teams, schools, and families work together to manage children's asthma. It aims to reduce barriers to asthma care at school and improve children's health and school outcomes. The study includes children with asthma or suspected asthma, their parents or caregivers, school nurses, and health care providers.

This study pilots REACH, Resources and Education for Addressing Chronic Health, a service model to facilitate care coordination and communication across medical, school, and home settings. REACH seeks to address barriers to school-based asthma management, improving health and educational outcomes and reducing negative impacts for children with asthma.
