Clinical Trials

The goal of this study is to evaluate the implementation of the Coach McLungsSM shared decision making intervention into primary care across a large healthcare system.

This study's objective is to identify and test pragmatic and sustainable strategies for implementing a multi-condition clinical pathway intervention for children hospitalized with asthma, pneumonia, or bronchiolitis in community hospitals.

This study wants to learn if these problems are related to certain patterns of breathing that babies had while they were in the NICU.

The primary goal of this project is to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and adherence of a smartphone application for improving asthma self-management in a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). The app is specifically designed to appeal to adolescents.

Many children currently being hospitalized with severe asthma could potentially avoid hospitalization and be sent home if their treatment in the emergency department was more effective. The investigators will conduct a pilot trial that will lead to a larger study to conclusively answer whether a simple and inexpensive medicine, intravenous magnesium sulfate, can be used in the emergency department to prevent hospitalization for these children.

The goal of this clinical trial is to study if starting bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP), a mask that gives pressure to the lungs, works well for children in the emergency department with moderate to severe asthma attacks.

Asthma disproportionately affects children living in disadvantaged communities. The well-documented disparities in asthma outcomes for minorities, including death, worse asthma control, greater likelihood of emergency room visits, and higher rates of school absenteeism are partly related to unmet SDOH for low-income families. Our UH3 clinical trial, "Reducing Asthma Attacks in Disadvantaged School Children with Asthma," seeks broad-scale implementation of our effective school-based approach to improve asthma disparities for children, ages 5-12 years, in low-income communities.
