“…Because stock albuterol laws are not universal in the United States, some researchers have used partnerships to send asthma medications directly from the pharmacy to the school. One such program, the Asthma Scripts for Schools Program sent albuterol inhalers from local pharmacies in Washington D.C. directly to area schools at no cost to families [47 ▪ ]. This study highlighted the ability for pharmacies to directly courier medication to schools, as many pharmacies offer free or reduced cost courier services [47 ▪ ].…”

This study highlighted the ability for pharmacies to directly courier medication to schools, as many pharmacies offer free or reduced cost courier services [47 ▪ ]. By demonstrating the feasibility of direct courier of medications to schools, states that have passed stock albuterol laws may be able to have stock medications delivered from local pharmacies as well.…”

Purpose of reviewSchool-based asthma management is an important component of pediatric asthma care that has the potential to provide more universal evidence-based asthma care to children and mitigate asthma-related health inequities. The purpose of this review is to highlight relevant developments in school-based asthma management over the past 2 years.Recent findingsThere have been considerable recent scientific advances in school-based asthma management including robust clinical trials of environmental interventions in the classroom setting, school-nurse led interventions, stock albuterol policy changes, school-based telemedicine approaches and innovative methods to engage community stakeholders in research that have pushed the frontiers of school-based asthma care.SummaryRecent scientific work in school-based asthma management demonstrates the potential power of schools in providing access to guideline-based asthma care for all children with asthma and in improving their health outcomes. Future work should focus on the evaluation of methods to promote the adoption of school-based asthma management strategies in real-world practice and support evidence-based policy change and strategic partnerships to improve asthma health outcomes and produce meaningful public health impact for diverse children and families.
