Full description:

We are exploring whether reminder letters from schools can help reduce asthma-related absences. This study will also assess whether this approach is practical and acceptable within schools.

We invite children aged 5-16 with asthma who use preventer medication, and their parents or carers, to join a small PPI group. You will meet once or twice a year to share feedback on study materials and design.
