Summary

This trial tests a school-based asthma program for children aged 2 to 12 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, who have poorly controlled asthma. The program, delivered by community health workers, includes staff training, child education, and caregiver support. Researchers compare a high-intensity in-person version with a low-intensity virtual version to see which improves asthma control and reduces emergency visits and hospitalizations.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A school-based asthma management program delivered by community health workers, with two versions: a high-intensity in-person package and a low-intensity virtual package.
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could help children in high-burden communities gain better asthma control and reduce emergency visits and hospitalizations.
What could go wrong
This is an implementation study, not a drug trial, so results depend on how well schools and families adopt the program. Effects may vary across communities and ages.
