Article Synopsis
- Childhood asthma shows significant racial disparities, with Black children facing higher hospitalization and death rates than White children, highlighting the need for comprehensive interventions in various environments.* -
- The study aimed to evaluate whether a Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention connecting primary care, homes, and schools improves asthma control for low-income children aged 5 to 13 with asthma.* -
- Conducted over four years in Philadelphia, the intervention included asthma management and care coordination, but results were impacted by COVID-19, leading to further analysis to assess effectiveness before the pandemic.*
Asthma evidence-based interventions (EBI) are implemented in the home, school, community or primary care setting. Although families are engaged in one setting, they often have to navigate challenges in another setting. Our objective is to design and implement a comprehensive plan which integrates EBI's and connects the four sectors in underserved communities such as Philadelphia.

Study Design And Methods: Donors who gave BFR results on HBsAg, HIV-1/HIV-2, HCV, or HTLV-I/HTLV/II chemiluminescent immunoassays (ChLIAs) (PRISM, Abbott) between May 1997 to March 1999 were analyzed.
