NCT ID NCT06003569
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests two school-based programs to help children aged 5-12 with asthma in low-income communities. The goal is to reduce asthma attacks and missed school days. Researchers will enroll 300 children across rural Colorado schools and compare a standard program to an enhanced version that adds community support.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- school-based asthma management program (Better Asthma Control for Kids – BACK)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a proven, scalable program to reduce asthma attacks and school absences in low-income communities.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug. Results may vary by school and community, and the program may not work as well in other settings.
