Home repairs may ease asthma in Low-Income kids
NCT ID NCT07453667
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether low-cost fixes for dampness and mold in the home can improve asthma control in children from low-income families. About 80 kids with asthma will be split into two groups: one gets the home repairs right away, the other waits. Researchers will check asthma symptoms, quality of life, and missed school days after three months.
