Brief Summary:
To test the effectiveness of school-based asthma education interventions community-based asthma health workers programs and the combination of these on asthmatic children Also to examine the separate and combined impact of asthma interventions designed to address problems associated with effective asthma self-management amd difficulties in establishing and maintaining continuity of medical care
Detailed Description:
BACKGROUND
Asthma is a leading cause of childhood illness that disproportionately affects minority children The causes of higher hospitalization and death rates among minority children with asthma are not understood It is commonly assumed that barriers related to poverty underlie this public health issue Two proposed causes of this increased morbidity and mortality are problems associated with effective asthma self-management and difficulties in establishing and maintaining continuity of medical care
The study was part of a demonstration and education initiative Interventions for Control of Asthma Among Black and Hispanic Children which was released by the NHLBI in June 1989
DESIGN NARRATIVE
A school-based asthma self-management program was developed to promote childrens self-management skills within predominately minority schools A community-based asthma health worker program was developed to assist minority families in establishing and maintaining asthma health care within the community It was hypothesized that the most effective control of asthma would be achieved with the combination of these two interventions Twenty elementary schools each in inner-city Baltimore Maryland and inner-city Washington DC served as study sites Asthmatic children grades 1-5 were identified by school records and parent surveys After obtaining consent schools were randomly assigned to one of four intervention groups 1 a controlminimal intervention 2 a school-based asthma education program 3 a community-based asthma health worker program and 4 a combined intervention that included both the school-based education program and the community-based health worker program The duration of both the school program and the Community health worker program was twelve months Baseline measures were collected after obtaining consent and prior to school randomization Followup measures were collected from children and families at 6 12 18 and 24 months Data were collected on hospitalization emergency or urgent care acute episodes health care utilization medications school absences academic performance self-esteem self and family asthma management and family coping
