SMART Implementation-Effectiveness Trial 1

Summary

While single maintenance and reliever therapy (SMART) has been the preferred management strategy for Step 3 and 4 (moderate/severe) asthma management since the 2020 NIH asthma guideline updates, adoption of SMART has not been rigorously assessed. This study will test electronic medical record clinical decision support and education implementation strategies (CDS+) to increase adoption of SMART in pediatric primary care. This is the first of two related records.
