Brief summary

Asthma among low-income, minority children remains a prime example of health disparities that are resistant to change. Controlled demonstrations of reductions in disproportionate hospital or emergency care are limited. We performed a controlled clinical trial of an Asthma Coach to reduce hospitalizations among low-income, African American children.
