Summary

Research has shown that adherence to evidence-based asthma guidelines leads to improved outcomes, yet critical gaps remain in the implementation of these guidelines, particularly among minority and low-income youth. Schools represent a crucial point of intervention, as demonstrated by school-based asthma programs that have addressed individual components of the guidelines with promising results. This project aims to develop, implement, and evaluate a pragmatic, multi-component asthma program that builds upon existing targeted interventions to fully implement the asthma guidelines and integrate them in school practices to foster sustainability. The investigator seeks to understand whether this type of program will improve asthma outcomes at the child and school level.

Conditions

  • Asthma in Children

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Multicomponent program

The intervention is a multi-component program that includes in-depth training for current school teachers/staff who are critical in asthma care, restructured processes to identify students with asthma, technological adaptations to support integrated systems for asthma care and absenteeism, strategies to enhance communication about asthma within school and between school and home, protocols for routine care (e.g., participation in gym/recess) and emergencies, and education for all students about asthma.
