Asthma is a significant health and economic burden in the United States. Multi-faceted interventions promoting guidelines-based medical management can improve asthma control and reduce emergency department visits, hospitalizations, missed days of school or work, and health care costs. The purpose of the Large Asthma Consortium grant program is to improve the reach, quality, effectiveness, and sustainability of asthma control services and to reduce asthma morbidity, mortality, and disparities by promoting guidelines-based asthma education, community engagement, and clinical and community linkages to support access to care and medical management.
