UA Researchers Lead Study to Encourage Children With Asthma to Use their Inhalers
Teaser Body: 
UA researchers are studying if the combination of dispensing asthma inhalers (corticosteroids) in the emergency department and supervising their use in elementary schools will increase the medication’s use among children with asthma and decrease emergency department visits.

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in pediatrics, affecting about 7 million children in the United States and accounting for 670,000 emergency department (ED) visits each year for acute asthma attacks.
