Improving asthma care for children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new approach in primary care to better manage childhood asthma. It focuses on children whose asthma is not well controlled and who already take a daily controller inhaler — it aims to find better ways to reduce flare-ups and improve daily breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between the ages of 5 and 18 years.
- You have a clinic visit at a participating CHOP pediatric primary care clinic during the study period.
- Your child was prescribed a daily controller inhaler (like an inhaled corticosteroid) for asthma in the past year.
- Your child has evidence of uncontrolled asthma: either an uncontrolled score on an asthma control questionnaire in the past 6 months, or two or more prescriptions for oral steroids for asthma flare-ups in the past year (with at least one in the past 6 months).
- Your child has not transferred out of the CHOP Pediatric Care Network or left the network.
