Popis:	The current study sought to examine the return on investment (ROI) of a mobile pediatric asthma clinic in a rural region with small metropolitan statistical areas, in terms of reduced costs attributed to preventable emergency department visits, inpatient admission, school absenteeism, cost of education, and parent work absenteeism. For fiscal years 2015 and 2016, an average return of $1.32 and a community ROI of $1.45 was estimated. Estimated benefits were $445,125.00 and cost avoidance was $263,853.01. A mobile pediatric asthma clinics operating in less densely populated regions is able to yield a positive ROI.
