A Pilot Pragmatic Cluster Randomized Trial of School-Supervised Therapy to Improve Pediatric Asthma Control.

ABSTRACT: Although school-supervised inhaled corticosteroid administration has potential to improve asthma morbidity, there has yet to be an evaluation of the pediatric practice as a setting to identify children with asthma and connect them to school-supervised asthma therapy. Conduct a pragmatic pilot trial of Asthma Link, a model that connects children with asthma seen in pediatric practice to supervised asthma therapy in the school setting. Four pediatric practices were pair-matched and randomized to (1) Asthma Link plus an asthma educational workbook or (2) Enhanced Usual Care, the same workbook alone. We recruited children 6 to 17 years old with poorly controlled asthma, prescribed a daily inhaled corticosteroid. Parent-child dyads completed surveys at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months. recruitm
