IAQ Trial Summary

This trial tests whether controlling home air quality can reduce asthma symptoms, such as need for medication, missed days, and hospital visits.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for children aged 5-15.9 with mild to severe persistent asthma. They must live in a single-family home with internet, a compatible thermostat, and bathroom fan vented outdoors. Participants need to commit to the study's duration, attend visits, answer control questions, follow their asthma treatment plan, and use birth control if applicable.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests whether improving indoor air quality can reduce asthma symptoms. It involves continuous monitoring of air quality and interventions like controlling ventilation using smart devices. The impact on symptom frequency will be measured through various health indicators and medical visit records.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on environmental changes rather than medication or invasive procedures, direct side effects are not anticipated as part of the intervention being tested.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Indoor Air Quality MitigationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Indoor air quality mitigation strategies of a smart home thermostat, smart bath fan switch, and a high-quality furnace filter will be employed within the participants' homes. Information will continue to be collected about participants' health status and asthma symptoms as well as the air quality inside their homes.

Group II: Pre-mitigationActive Control1 Intervention

Information will be collected from participants about their health status and asthma symptoms. Information about the air quality inside the participants' homes will also be collected.
