What this trial studies

The ATHENA Project aims to improve asthma management among African American young adults aged 18-30 through a mobile health intervention. This program includes a web-based asthma management app, video conferences with asthma nurses, text messaging support, and physical activity tracking. Participants will be randomly assigned to different components of the intervention to tailor the approach to their needs. The goal is to enhance asthma control and management behaviors, ultimately leading to better quality of life for participants.
