Improving asthma management for children in families who speak languages other than English
Navigating Together for Equitable Asthma Management (Nav-TEAM) for Children in Families who Communicate in Languages other than English
This study is testing a new program called Nav-TEAM to help children with asthma from families who speak languages other than English, making sure they get the education and support they need for better asthma care.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing asthma care for children from families who communicate in languages other than English. It aims to implement a program called Nav-TEAM, which utilizes asthma navigators to provide education and care coordination tailored to these families. By addressing language barriers and social determinants of health, the program seeks to improve asthma outcomes for children who are often at a disadvantage in healthcare settings. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention on pediatric asthma outcomes for 280 children.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are children with asthma from families who communicate primarily in languages other than English.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have asthma or whose families communicate in English may not receive benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved asthma management and health outcomes for children in families who face language barriers.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that asthma navigation programs can significantly improve outcomes for children, suggesting that this adapted approach may also be effective.
