PeerASMAS Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: ASMASExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
ASMAS is an asthma self-management program based on NHLBI clinical guidelines for optimal school-based asthma management. It involves 4, 1½ hour sessions delivered in group format in the urban, middle school setting by a Latino High School Peer who has asthma. ASMAS focuses on asthma pathophysiology, symptom management, asthma medications, and trigger control.
Group II: Asthma education plus child healthActive Control1 Intervention
Asthma Education plus Child Health control condition will be delivered by an adult Health Educator , and includes 4 sessions (1 1/2 hrs long) of our existing asthma education ("Asthma's Magic Number") with added general health topics (nutrition, physical activity, safety).
