Parent Mentor Asthma Study

Asthma disproportionately affects minorities, but few studies have evaluated interventions to improve asthma outcomes in minority children.The purpose of the study is to determine whether Parent Mentors (PMs) are more effective than traditional asthma care in reducing minority children's asthma morbidity, costs, and use of services, while increasing families' quality of life and parental self-efficacy.
