What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the impact of low-cost humidity and mold reduction interventions in homes on pediatric asthma among children living in low socioeconomic status areas. The study aims to compare asthma control and quality of life before and after these healthy home interventions, focusing on children under 18 years with documented asthma. This intervention study involves two groups to assess the effectiveness of improving housing conditions on respiratory health. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: a control group that does not receive humidity interventions during the study, and an intervention group that receives healthy home interventions including low-cost humidity reduction measures. The study measures changes over a three-month period after the interventions are implemented in the homes. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor asthma control, asthma-related quality of life, hospitalizations, and missed days from work or school at baseline and three months later. The study includes children living in specific urban and suburban areas, and parents or guardians will provide informed consent. The goal is to understand how these home improvements may affect pediatric asthma outcomes over the study period.
