Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 13 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Families for Steps 1 and 3 will be identified through schools, clinics, and non-profit agencies that focus on asthma (e.g., American Lung Association). School principals, clinic directors, administrators and/or clinicians will distribute a flyer to families advertising the study, and families will be asked to call the researchers. In Rhode Island, families will also be recruited from their lab's database of past referrals and past research participants. Interested families will be screened for study eligibility by trained study staff. Each site will recruit two high school teachers for Step 2 from teachers known to the investigative team (convenient sample)

Who may be able to join

  • a prior asthma diagnosis in the prior 12 months;
  • use of prescribed asthma medications;
  • persistent asthma (defined as (i) daytime symptoms 3+ days a week, (ii) night awakenings 3+ nights per month, (iii) 2+ Emergency Department visits or (iv) 1+ hospitalization for asthma); and
  • sleep duration < 8 hours
  • Teach at the high school level.

Who cannot join

  • report of prior diagnosis of a sleep disorder, such as sleep disordered breathing, restless leg syndrome, periodic limb movement syndrome;
  • A Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) score of 0.33 or more, a well-validated measure of sleep disordered breathing risk;
  • active immunotherapy;
  • additional pulmonary disease; and
  • significant developmental delay and/or severe psychiatric or medical conditions that preclude completion of study procedures or confound analyses.
  • SCHOOL TEACHERS (4 high school teachers - 2 from New York and 2 from Rhode Island in Step 2)
  • Unwilling to participate in the study.

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Improve Sleep Quality in Urban High School Students With Asthma

The overall goal of this project is to develop and to preliminarily validate a novel intervention to be delivered in the high school setting that integrates two evidence-based, school-based interventions for urban adolescents with proven efficacy: (1) Asthma Self-Management for Adolescents (ASMA), an intervention for adolescents with uncontrolled asthma and (2) the Sleep-Smart Program (Sleep-Smart), which focuses on sleep hygiene and behaviors in urban adolescents.

The aim for Phase I is to develop and integrate school-based interventions to improve asthma self-management and sleep hygiene in urban high school students via interviews.

The aims for Phase II are: (1) to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention procedures; and (2) to assess the preliminary evidence of the effects of the intervention on improving sleep quality in urban high school students with persistent asthma over a 2-month follow-up period.

This record is for Phase I only.

Read the detailed description

Sleep quality among adolescents is poor and asthma's impact is significant among adolescents. Asthma control is an important risk factor for poor sleep and poor academic performance. In addition, poor asthma control, poor sleep hygiene, and poor sleep quality are more likely in urban settings. Interventions to promote sleep quality by targeting both asthma control and sleep hygiene in this vulnerable population are lacking.

To adapt ASMA and Sleep-Smart, the investigators will use a 3-step iterative process that will consist of (1) interviewing high school students and their caregivers, (2) interviewing high school teachers and (3) conducting separate focus groups with students and caregivers. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will be feasible and acceptable. This study is a multi-site trial and collaboration between Columbia University Medical Center and Rhode Island Hospital (RIH).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT03073187
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Students: Step 1 Interviews20 adolescents with uncontrolled asthma and poor sleep [10 from New York City (NYC); 10 from Rhode Island (RI)] will provide information regarding their asthma and sleep routines, and on what they would like to see in an intervention targeting co-morbid asthma and poor sleep.
Caregivers: Step 1 InterviewsThe caregivers of the 20 adolescents in this step [10 from NYC; 10 from RI] will be asked to provide information regarding their teenager's asthma and sleep routines, and on what they would like to see in an intervention targeting co-morbid asthma and poor sleep.
Teachers: Step 2 Interviews4 high school teachers, 2 from NYC and 2 from RI, will review the developed intervention. They will provide their opinions about the appropriateness of the teaching methods and literacy level for adolescents.
Students: Step 3 Focus Groups20 adolescents with uncontrolled asthma and poor sleep [10 from NYC; 10 from RI] will review the intervention providing feedback on its appropriateness and utility.
Caregivers: Step 3 Focus GroupsThe caregivers of the 20 adolescents in this step [10 from NYC; 10 from RI] will review the intervention providing feedback on its appropriateness and utility in small groups.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of subjects successfully completing the interview (time frame: Up to 10 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03073187, which also lists 33 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2021.
