Asthma in Children Clinical Trial
— CASCADEOfficial title:
Chicago Asthma School-Directed Child-Centered Assessment and Dissemination of Evidence
Research has shown that adherence to evidence-based asthma guidelines leads to improved outcomes, yet critical gaps remain in the implementation of these guidelines, particularly among minority and low-income youth. Schools represent a crucial point of intervention, as demonstrated by school-based asthma programs that have addressed individual components of the guidelines with promising results. This project aims to develop, implement, and evaluate a pragmatic, multi-component asthma program that builds upon existing targeted interventions to fully implement the asthma guidelines and integrate them in school practices to foster sustainability. The investigator seeks to understand whether this type of program will improve asthma outcomes at the child and school level.
