Read how we examined asthma control and health care utilization for children enrolled in the SBAT program and the outcomes in Columbus, Ohio, from 2013 to 2019.
The objective of this study was to examine cost effectiveness (CE) of the School-Based Asthma Therapy (SBAT) program compared with usual care. The SBAT was effective and cost-effective in reducing symptoms in urban children with asthma.
We developed the School-Based Telemedicine Enhanced Asthma Management (SB-TEAM) program to build on school-based therapy by integrating telemedicine at school to overcome barriers to preventive asthma care.
School-based asthma therapy, or SBAT, is a way to help students breathe easier. SBAT is a program that relies on teamwork between schools, school nurses, health care providers, insurance companies, pharmacies and families.
The American Thoracic Society's HealthDay publication reports that a “study says that school-based asthma therapy is effective in helping kids breathe easier while away from home.”
