Summary

Healthcare costs are a critical barrier to U.S. families' ability to access the preventive care needed to manage their children's asthma. Asthma specialty care teams are uniquely positioned to help families navigate these cost barriers, but lack structured approaches to discussing this sensitive and complex topic. This study will train asthma specialty care teams to identify families at risk for financial burden and engage in conversations about strategies to manage asthma care costs. The study team will evaluate the impact of a health care provider training on the frequency of cost navigation conversations. The investigators hypothesize that the health care provider training will increase the frequency of parent-reported cost conversations in the clinic.
