About this study

Asthma is a chronic lung disease with serious morbidity and potential mortality. Multiple physiologic, environmental and social conditions impact the prevalence and severity of asthma. Even when diagnosed, effective control can be impeded by improper use of medication, not understanding or being unable to avoid environmental triggers, lack of continuity in follow-up care, and lack of an asthma action plan. American Indians are especially at-risk for health problems related to asthma. American Indians have the highest asthma rate among single-race groups; 18.5% of American Indians are diagnosed with asthma, while only 11% are diagnosed with asthma in the general population but little is known about why this is true. Asthma is a prototypic example of the interaction of biologic, environmental and psychosocial influences on disease and this study investigated the possible improvement in asthma control from an intensive educational intervention.

Read the detailed description

The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that intensive patient education regarding self-directed, stepped care will result in reduced morbidity and medical care utilization, while increasing quality of life.

One half (54) of the identified cases will be randomized to receive the previously established "BREATHE" study educational program, emphasizing patient-centered, self management of asthma. Periodic follow-up through personal contact and surveillance of IHS RPMS or other medical provider records was conducted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intensive Asthma Education in people with Asthma in Children, run by Missouri Breaks Industries Research, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Chart Review of ED Visits (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Oct 2017.
