June 28, 2021 -Publications Update - The Study's Design

PrecISE researchers published two articles to share how the study's design works. The articles are detailed below. As they planned the PrecISE study, researchers made many key decisions. For example, they decided how to make PrecISE different from other studies, the benefits of the design for studying severe asthma, and what participants will do in the study. The goal of these articles is to explain how those decisions were made. Sharing information like this can help other researchers.
