Primary outcomePrimary: Emergency Department Visits for Asthma Care — 1.65; 1.95 ED visits
Summary
Text2Breathe (T2B) is a randomized controlled trial aimed at improving communication between parents and their children's' primary care providers about asthma. The overarching goal of this study is to reduce disparities among a population with high rates of pediatric asthma morbidity. The investigators are testing the efficacy of a short message service (SMS)-enhanced health communication (HC) intervention ("Text2Breathe") designed to equip urban, low-income parents with tools for communicating effectively with their children's primary care provider (PCP).
