Health Care Providers
Welcome to “BACK” – Better Asthma Control for Kids
Families, school nurses, and healthcare providers are coming together to control asthma.
About the BACK program
We want to lighten your workload.
We will ONLY be contacting your clinic for students whose asthma is poorly controlled and who have agreed to participate in our study.
Our goal is to support care coordination between you, their family, and their school health team as we know that good asthma control includes attention to each of these.
Our program:
The Better Asthma Control for Kids (BACK) intervention is a school-based asthma program that pairs a community health worker with a school nurse in selected schools to support and provide asthma self-management and care coordination.
Care coordination for BACK includes management of unmet social needs related to social determinants of health (SDOH) – including healthcare access, transportation, food insecurity, public benefits, housing, and utilities
