Feasibility of an Asthma Online Social Intervention

Non-randomised Feasibility Study Testing a Primary Care Intervention to Promote Engagement in an Online Health Community (OHC) for Adults With Troublesome Asthma

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Dec 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this observational study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of an online intervention for people with troublesome asthma in primary care, involving a consultation with a primary care clinician to introduce and promote online peer support (i.e. support from other patients with asthma within an established and safe OHC). The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Is the intervention feasible and acceptable to patients? * Can the research team recruit patients and collect health-related data to identify the impact of this intervention on patients and what are the challenges to pursue further research to evaluate this intervention in a trial?
