In collaboration with a community health worker (CHW) delivered asthma education program, the investigators are conducting a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of HEPA air cleaners to improve indoor air quality and child asthma health in South King County of Washington state, a vulnerable community impacted by air pollution from airports and highway traffic. Key features of the Airports, Air Quality and Asthma (AAA) design include integration of CHWs into study procedur
