Can a School-Home program tame childhood asthma?
NCT ID NCT05814510
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a comprehensive school and home asthma program, called Asthma CHAMPS, can improve asthma control and reduce asthma-related absences, emergency visits, and hospitalizations for children in Baltimore City elementary schools. The program includes education for staff, students, and caregivers, environmental guidance, asthma care coordination, and resources. Researchers will compare outcomes across 32 schools using a stepped wedge design, where schools receive the program at different times, and will gather feedback from parents, staff, and community health workers to refine the approach.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Asthma CHAMPS full program (behavioral intervention including education, environmental support, care coordination, and resources)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could reduce asthma-related school absences, emergency visits, and hospitalizations for children, and help narrow asthma disparities in urban schools.
- What could go wrong
- This is a pragmatic implementation trial, so results may vary across schools and communities. The program's success depends on consistent participation from families, staff, and schools, which can be challenging to sustain.
