TEACH-ER Trial Summary

This trial will compare two different approaches to help reduce asthma-related ER visits & hospitalizations in kids. Home-based telemedicine, education & medication delivery will be used to support effective management practices.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for children aged 3-12 with persistent asthma or poor control, living in Monroe County, NY. They must have had an emergency visit for acute asthma and be on a daily controller medication as per NHLBI guidelines. Excluded are those who can't understand English or Spanish, lack phone access, are in foster care without guardian consent, or have other significant medical conditions.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares TEACH-ER—a telehealth program including education in the ER, virtual follow-ups with home medication delivery—and Enhanced Care (EC). It aims to see if TEACH-ER reduces further emergency visits/hospitalizations over a year and improves symptoms, adherence to medication, quality of life and guideline-based care.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on educational support through telehealth rather than new medications, there aren't direct side effects from interventions like you'd expect with drugs. However, technical issues or miscommunication during virtual visits could potentially occur.
