The Preventive Care Program for Urban Children with Asthma
Current Research Projects
School-Based Preventive Asthma Care Technology (SB-PACT) (RC1/NHLBI) 
The School-Based Preventive Asthma Care Technology study is a 100 subject pilot project funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the National Institutes of Health, and developed in partnership with the Rochester City School District and School Nurse Program. This program utilizes a novel, web-based communication system and assures that children receive a daily preventive asthma medication in school. This system allows school health staff to complete symptom assessments and transmit asthma symptom reports to healthcare providers. The program builds on the School-Based Asthma Therapy (SBAT) trial, conducted from 2006-2009 with more than 500 children, and was designed for dissemination and sustainability.

“Anything we can do to provide a continuous plan of care aimed at preventing hospitalizations and controlling symptoms is a benefit to our students, and it helps them stay in school.”
