CPSTF Recommends School-Based Self-Management Interventions for Children and Adolescents with Asthma

The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends school-based asthma self-management interventions to reduce hospitalizations and emergency room visits among children and adolescents with asthma.

The recommendation is based on a systematic review conducted by a team of specialists who assessed evidence from 30 studies identified in the following published review:

Harris KM, Kneale D, Lasserson TJ, McDonald VM, Grigg J, Thomas J. School-based self-management interventions for asthma in children and adolescents: a mixed methods systematic review. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2019, Issue 1. Art. No.: CD011651.

School-based self-management interventions for asthma control are likely to reduce asthma morbidity, improve asthma-related quality of life, and promote health equity.

Why is this important?

  • Asthma is the most common chronic lung disease among children in the United States, affecting one out of every twelve children.1
  • Students with asthma may experience limitations in daily activities, missed school days, hospitalizations, or urgent primary care and emergency department visits.2
