Rhode Island Asthma Integrated Response Program

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The study's purpose is to evaluate the RI-Asthma Integrated Response (RI-AIR) Asthma Care Implementation Program (ACIP). RI-AIR ACIP uses an electronic information system to screen children with asthma and identify what specific services each child needs based on the child's asthma symptom and health care status. Our main goal is to see if children experience better asthma outcomes as a result of participation in the program. We will provide our intervention to 434 urban, ethnically diverse children, between 2-12 years old with asthma, and their families and evaluate whether participating in the program improves children's asthma outcomes. The second goal is to evaluate how well the program is set up and how we can make improvements to better serve families of children with asthma. The third goal is to gather information and advice from community experts so that we can make the program sustainable. Families that take part in RI-AIR ACIP will participate in the program over the course of a year, including participating in the intervention, and brief follow up visits at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after completing the intervention. All families will complete the CASE program, which takes place over the course of about 4 weeks and involves in-school or remote school-based asthma education for school aged children, after-school or remote education sessions for their parents, asthma care training for school staff, and an evaluation of asthma triggers in the school. Families of children who have more frequent asthma symptoms and emergency healthcare visits will also compete the HARP program, a home-based program consisting of 3 home sessions (over about 6 weeks) that include individualized asthma education and strategies and supplies for controlling environmental asthma triggers. Both CASE and HARP programs are carried out by certified asthma educators and community health workers. Each child's healthcare provider (HCP) and school nurse teacher (SNT) will receive a standardized, secure email indicating the child is participating in RI-AIR. This email will include a summary of the child's baseline assessment of asthma control and prior health care use, and a description of the program. At the conclusion of the child's participation, the HCP and SNT will receive a summary by secure email summarizing the child's asthma control at the end of the intervention, services delivered, and referrals made, and for HARP participants, triggers observed in the home and supplies and referrals provided.
