Summary

Asthma is the number one cause of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits in young minority children and is responsible for high healthcare costs. The ED is often the point of contact for many inner city children and many families view the ED as the child's primary source of asthma care. This study plans to test a new model of asthma care, Asthma Express (AEx), that includes a follow-up asthma visit in the ED for an asthma "check-up" , asthma education, a prescription for preventive asthma medications, an appointment for the child to see their pediatric provider and a home visit to assist families with environmental control methods to prevent asthma symptoms.
