Asthma Action at Erie Trial
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Community Health Worker and Certified asthma educator for Asthma and Children. Completed, enrolled 223 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Asthma Action at Erie Trial compares the current best practice in asthma self-management education (certified asthma educator services) to an integrated community health worker (CHW) home intervention in which the real-life challenges of patients and the health care system are taken fully into account. This trial will provide clarity as to the expected effect size, cost savings, and resources needed to integrate asthma CHWs into clinical practice.
