Study Details

Brief summary:

The goal of this intervention study is to assess the effectiveness of low-cost humidity and mold reduction interventions in the home for reducing pediatric asthma. The study will have two groups, a treatment group that receives the healthy home interventions during the study and a second control group that will receive these after the study. We will compare pediatric asthma before and three months after the healthy home interventions are performed.
