Summary
This study tested a school-based program called Asthma-PASS to help children with asthma be more physically active. The program worked with doctors, community health workers, and schools to ensure kids had the right medications and could use rescue inhalers at school. Researchers measured symptom-free days and physical activity levels in 452 children to see if the program made a difference.
