What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Home VisitBehavioural

    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 CareBehavioural

    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.

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.
Receives: Behavioral: Home Visit
Wait-List ControlOtherThe 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.
