Evaluating a brief intervention for asthma management in Black adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial evaluates the efficacy of the BREATHE intervention, a 9-minute shared decision-making approach designed to improve asthma control among Black adults with uncontrolled asthma. The study will involve 200 participants receiving care at urban federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and aims to identify barriers and facilitators to implementing this intervention widely. The BREATHE intervention is unique as it is integrated into routine office visits and delivered by the patient's own healthcare provider. Additionally, post-trial interviews will assess participant satisfaction and the acceptability of the intervention.
