简要总结
The goal of this intervention study is to assess the effectiveness of low-cost humidity and mold reduction interventions in the home for reducing pediatric asthma. The study will have two groups, a treatment group that receives the healthy home interventions during the study and a second control group that will receive these after the study. We will compare pediatric asthma before and three months after the healthy home interventions are performed.

结局指标
主要结局
Hospitalizations
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
Change in frequency of hospitalizations/emergency room utilization
Missing work/school
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
Change in the number of self-reported missed work or school days
Change in pediatric asthma control
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
Pediatric asthma control is assessed using the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), a six-item survey consisting of questions specific to asthma symptoms and bronchodilator usage. Questions are answered using a 7-point Likert scale and scored cumulatively with lower scores indicating greater asthma control. Lower scores at 3 months compared to baseline indicate overall improvement in asthma control post-intervention.
Change in asthma-related quality of life
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
Asthma-related quality of life is assessed using the Pediatric Asthma Caregiver's Quality of Life Questionnaire (PACQLQ), a thirteen-item survey to assess problems that caregivers experience as a result of their child's asthma. Questions are answered using a 7-point Likert scale and scored cumulatively with higher scores indicating less impact on quality of life. Higher scores at 3 months compared to baseline indicate overall improvement in quality of life.
