NCT ID NCT06388460
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether having school staff supervise children taking their asthma medication can improve symptoms and reduce hospital visits. About 350 children aged 5-14 with poorly controlled asthma will either receive school-supervised therapy plus an educational workbook, or just the workbook. The goal is to see if the school partnership helps kids stay on track with their medicine and breathe easier.
