Asthma navigator aims to keep kids out of the ER
NCT ID NCT06513832
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- asthma navigator (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could reduce repeat hospital visits for children with asthma and help close gaps in care for underserved families.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 75 children, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not significantly change outcomes or be sustainable in other hospitals.
