This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.

What is this trial?

This study is testing a new way to help children with asthma get better control of their condition. The approach combines easy electronic forms that your doctor fills out and sends directly to your child's school, plus a dedicated asthma care coordinator who helps your family and school work together. The goal is to make it easier for your child to take their asthma medications at home and at school, so their asthma stays under control.

Many children with asthma still struggle to control their symptoms even when they have medications, often because of gaps in communication between doctors, families, and schools. This study is testing whether connecting these three groups more closely and providing extra support can help children do better.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

your child has been diagnosed with persistent asthma and either isn't on daily controller medication or still has symptoms despite being on medication
your child is between 4 and 12 years old and attends a school in the Bronx, lower Hudson Valley, or nearby areas of New York
your child has had asthma symptoms at least 2 days per week in the past month, or uses rescue medication frequently, or has nighttime symptoms
you (or your child's caregiver) speak and understand English or Spanish
you have access to a phone and either a smartphone, iPad, or computer to fill out and sign electronic forms

You likely don't qualify if…

you plan to move away from the school or area within 6 months
your child has other serious medical conditions like heart disease, cystic fibrosis, or other chronic lung diseases
your child is currently in foster care or another situation where legal consent cannot be obtained
your child has severe developmental delays that would make it hard to complete asthma questionnaires
your child is already participating in another asthma intervention study

What participation looks like

If you join, your child will be randomly assigned to either the new program or usual care. If assigned to the new program, your doctor will use electronic prompts to ensure your child gets guideline-based asthma care, you'll fill out electronic medication forms that go straight to your child's school, and an asthma care coordinator will check in regularly to support your family and help coordinate care between home and school. Both groups will be followed for 12 months, with surveys and assessments to see how well your child's asthma is controlled.
