Health Supports Learning: Academic Outcomes Improved by the School-Based Asthma Therapy Program.
October 13, 2026 · The Journal of school health
Key takeaway
Asthma programs in schools helped Black children and others miss less school and have fewer behavior problems. This matters because it shows managing asthma can help our kids stay in class and do better, especially in communities facing challenges.
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.
