Improving asthma symptom awareness in older 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 study focuses on older adults with asthma, aiming to enhance their awareness of expiratory airflow limitation, which is crucial for better asthma management. The intervention involves training participants to perceive airway obstruction through feedback from peak expiratory flow (PEF) measurements, combined with motivational interviewing to encourage self-management behaviors. The research addresses the significant gap in asthma outcomes among older adults, particularly those from minoritized backgrounds, by targeting their perception of asthma symptoms.
