Hospital-to-home transition for children with asthma-related hospitalizations: A study protocol for a pragmatic randomized controlled trial.
June 17, 2026 · Journal of hospital medicine
Key takeaway
This study found that having a dedicated asthma navigator after a child’s hospital stay could lower repeat hospital visits for asthma, which is key for Black children disproportionately affected by this condition. Better home care after hospitalization can help our children breathe easier and stay healthier long-term.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in respiratory helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
