Self-care Decision-making: Feasibility of the BREATHE Asthma Intervention Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating BREATHE and Attention Control Condition for Asthma Chronic and Health Behavior. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Asthma rates are high and asthma control is greatly reduced in Black, Medicaid-insured adults, due in part to their poor adherence to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), which in turn may be due to erroneous health beliefs about asthma and negative beliefs regarding ICS. A brief shared decision-making intervention for use by primary care providers in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) has the potential to be a novel avenue to greatly improve asthma control in this high-risk patient group.

Timeline
Interventions
Primary care providers (PCPs) randomized to BREATHE will be trained to deliver the 7-minute brief shared decision-making intervention using a 4-step motivational interviewing approach.
PCPs randomized to the control intervention will not receive any specific training. To control for contact, they will be instructed to engage in a 7-minute diet and exercise discussion as this will not confound results.
