| Title: | Cost-effectiveness of a home-based environmental intervention for
inner-city children with asthma | National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences |

| Description: | The authors of this study calculated the benefits of a home-based environmental remediation for young, asthmatic children. They determined that the intervention, which cost $1,469 per family, led to a statistically significant reduction in asthma-symptom days, unscheduled clinic visits, and use of beta-agonist inhalers. Findings indicated that the intervention is cost-effective when the aim is to reduce asthma symptom days and the associated costs. |
