The Houston Home-Based Integrated Intervention Targeting Better Asthma Control (HIITBAC) for African Americans
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Enhanced Clinic Care and Enhanced Clinic Care + Home Intervention for Asthma. Completed, enrolled 264 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to improve the health of African-American adults who have poorly controlled asthma. The study compares a home-based exposure reduction and asthma control intervention to enhanced in-clinic care that includes a standard clinical appointment as well as information from a detailed exposure history, asthma education, assessment for allergies, and a customized asthma self-management plan developed using motivational interviewing. The interventional group receives enhanced in-clinic care, as well as a customized home-based environmental exposure assessment and multicomponent exposure reduction and asthma control intervention (five home visits over approximately 12 months).
