About This Moderate to Severe Asthma Study in St Louis

Purpose: This study aims to improve asthma care by helping clinicians at community health centers prescribe a guideline-recommended treatment called SMART (Single Maintenance and Reliever Therapy). The investigators will provide training and resources to clinicians, give feedback on prescribing patterns, and offer educational tools for patients and providers. The investigators will roll out these resources in stages across clinics. The study will measure how well the program helps clinicians prescribe SMART therapy and whether it reduces asthma exacerbations in patients.

Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine
