Case Management and Environmental Control in Asthma

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Asthma

In brief

Asthma among low-income, minority children remains a prime example of health disparities that are resistant to change. Controlled demonstrations of reductions in disproportionate hospital or emergency care are limited. We performed a controlled clinical trial of an "Asthma Coach" to reduce hospitalizations among low-income, African American children.
