First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a dedicated asthma navigator—a respiratory therapist who provides education, scheduling help, and phone support—can reduce repeat hospital visits for children aged 5–16 admitted to the PICU for asthma. The goal is to improve health equity by addressing barriers like medication access and transportation. Researchers will track unscheduled healthcare use over time.
