A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The Puerto Rico Asthma Integrated Response Program (PR-AIR) aims to reduce asthma disparities among children in high-burden communities of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The study is divided into two phases: the first phase involves collaborating with community stakeholders to identify barriers and facilitators for implementing the program, while the second phase evaluates the effectiveness of both low-intensity (virtual) and high-intensity (in-person) intervention methods. The program will engage 480 children aged 2-12 with poorly controlled asthma, assessing outcomes related to asthma control and quality of life, as well as community-specific metrics like emergency department visits and school absences.
