Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The SAMBA program will be led by an asthma care coach (ACC) and the home program by a community health worker (CHW). All interventions, including usual care, will include EMR-based asthma self-management and decision support tools for clinicians in all practice sites. The ACC and CHW will provide education, goal setting, and general self-management support with assigned patients and coordinate with PCPs through in-person and phone contacts over 12 months. Outcomes will be measured through interviews, EMR chart abstractions, and from the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) dataset to identify all ED visits and hospitalizations to any New York State facility.
