NIOSH R21 WTC Asthma

Summary

Aim 2: Conduct a pilot RCT of SaMBA-WTC to determine feasibility and preliminary impact in preparation for a fully powered trial. (7M-24M) The investigators will conduct a pilot RCT (n=58) of the SaMBA-WTC model vs. an attention control. Data will be collected on the primary outcomes (asthma control \[asthma control test, ACT\], medication use, inhaler technique) as well as on other secondary outcomes including measures of physical function, self-management behaviors, feasibility and fidelity at baseline, at intervention completion at 3 months, and for sustainability at 6 months. This project will prepare the team for all aspects of a subsequent larger efficacy trial of SaMBA-WTC.
