Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal participants are parents or caregivers of children with asthma in partner school districts who have access to email and a device, and who receive care within the BJH/WUSM system.

Probably not a fit

Participants whose children do not have asthma or do not attend partner schools, or who lack necessary technology, may see no personal benefit.

What this trial studies

This project tests a care-coordination hub and related resources designed to strengthen communication among families, schools, and healthcare providers. It uses a single-arm pre-post cluster design to see if the hub improves how asthma is managed at school. The intervention includes a dissemination strategy to build trust, education and resources to boost asthma knowledge, and a shared platform for records and messaging across systems. The goal is to improve health outcomes and reduce school-related barriers for children with asthma.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the program could improve school-based asthma management and reduce missed school days and emergency visits for participating children.

How similar studies have gone: Previous care-coordination and school–health integration efforts have shown promise, though this specific hub approach in a non-randomized design is exploratory.
