This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of the study is to further assess the effects of long-term asthma treatment given early in childhood. This study will test whether 3.5 to 5 years of asthma treatment in children 5 to 12 years of age with inhaled corticosteroids has a long-term benefit in allowing maximum attainment of lung growth. This will be achieved by continued follow-up of the original Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) cohort until the majority have reached their maximal adult height.
