Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators aim to pilot the role of school based intervention consisting of enhanced integrated pest management, classroom air purifiers and cleaning improves asthma morbidity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

By piloting this school based intervention, the investigators hope to learn from this study the best way to design and implement more cost and time efficient large-based school-based environmental interventions that may potentially help a community of children with asthma, allergic diseases, and its associated morbidity.
