BREATHE: An Efficacy-implementation Trial of a Brief Shared Decision Making Intervention Among Black Adults With Uncontrolled Asthma in Federally Qualified Health Centers (Trial and Post-trial)
This study is an efficacy-implementation trial to: 1. evaluate systematically the efficacy of BREATHE in 200 Black adults receiving care at urban federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) for uncontrolled asthma; and 2. identify multi-level barriers and facilitators to the widespread adoption and implementation of BREATHE in FQHCs.
⁃ Patients participants will
• be adults (\> or = 18 years of age)
• self-report race as 'Black' race (African American, African, Caribbean, West Indian, multi-racial \[Black AND one or more additional races\]); identify their ethnicity as Hispanic OR non-Hispanic
• have clinician-diagnosed persistent asthma (defined as being prescribed inhaled corticosteroids in the last 48 months) or have had an asthma exacerbation (e.g., ER visit, course of Prednisone) regardless of controller medicine use
• receive asthma care at a partner FQHC and
• screen positive for uncontrolled asthma as measured by the Asthma Control Questionnaire- 6 items (ACQ-6) and erroneous beliefs as measured by the Conventional and Alternative Management for Asthma (CAM-A) survey.
• must be identified by patient participant as a loved one and
• loved one must be a family member or friend of the patient participant.
