Navigating Together for Equitable Asthma Management for Children in Families Who Communicate in Language Other Than English

Summary

The Nav-Team study reviews how well the asthma navigators/coordinator program can improve the lives of asthmatic children, and their caregivers, by providing additional assistance and education. Aim 1 of the study will partner with immigrant serving community organizations to hold meetings that will help tailor the programs. Aim 2 of the study looks at data to help see if the program is working to help children and their caregivers. Aim 2a looks at difference in emergency department use between families that did not use the Nav-Team program and those that did. Aim 2b reviews how well the Nav-Team program did with reaching and connecting with the asthma child and caregiver community. Aim 2b, also reviews the costs of the program, how well the program did will sticking to the program goals, and how well the staff was able to keep up with providing education and help.
