Summary
This trial aims to help children in Baltimore City elementary schools manage their asthma better. The program teaches kids and their caregivers how to control asthma symptoms, reducing school absences and emergency healthcare visits.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who care for children with asthma or staff at Baltimore City K-8 Public Schools. It includes kids diagnosed with asthma and enrolled in schools participating in Asthma CHAMPS. Those unwilling to consent, or children unwilling to provide assent are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests the Asthma CHAMPS program's effectiveness in reducing asthma disparities among children by implementing it across 32 elementary schools. The design involves a stepped wedge trial to assess its impact on school attendance, healthcare use, and overall asthma control.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on an educational and management program rather than medication, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be indirect impacts related to changes in daily routines or stress levels due to new management practices.

Other Research
The most common treatments for childhood asthma include inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), which reduce inflammation in the airways, and short-acting beta agonists (SABAs), which provide quick relief by relaxing bronchial muscles. Long-acting beta agonists (LABAs) are often used in combination with ICS for long-term control.
The Asthma CHAMPS program emphasizes a multi-faceted approach, combining medical treatment with education, environmental control, and healthcare coordination. This comprehensive strategy is vital for childhood asthma patients as it not only addresses the immediate symptoms but also reduces exposure to triggers and ensures consistent management, leading to better overall asthma control and fewer exacerbations.
