Brief Summary

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

This study will establish a multi-disciplinary home visitation team consisting of a medical provider and school teacher or staff member, and will evaluate whether a series of visits from this team will help decrease school absenteeism among children with asthma.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention

The intervention arm will receive the home visit intervention, consisting of 2 visits to the home by a team consisting of a pediatric medical provider and a school teacher or school support staff member. This team will evaluate the child's home environment to assess for potential asthma triggers that may lead to school absenteeism, and provide strategies and material goods to help reduce those triggers.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Home Visit

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention will consist of a series of home visitations to chronically absent students with co-morbid asthma. These visits will consist of a home environment evaluation, medication adherence and knowledge assessment, distribution of home environmental allergen reduction items such as mattress and pillow encasements, as well as review and reinforcement of any asthma action plans or care plans provided by patient's primary care physicians or medical home.

Wait-List Control

The control group will receive standard interventions carried out by the school system for students at risk for chronic absenteeism. Following the study observation period, this control group will then receive the home visits performed for the intervention group.

Group Type OTHER

Home Visit

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention will consist of a series of home visitations to chronically absent students with co-morbid asthma. These visits will consist of a home environment evaluation, medication adherence and knowledge assessment, distribution of home environmental allergen reduction items such as mattress and pillow encasements, as well as review and reinforcement of any asthma action plans or care plans provided by patient's primary care physicians or medical home.

Standard Care

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Standard care will refer to the procedures carried out by the school district to address students with chronic absenteeism. This includes parent-teacher and parent-school administrator meetings and communications and may also include home visits carried out by classroom teachers or student support center staff.
