Study Overview

Brief Summary

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