Home Visit

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 Care

Behavioral

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.
