A Three-part Intervention to Improve Regular Care for Asthma After a Pediatric Emergency Department Visit: A Randomized Clinical Trial

The study will assess the efficacy of a three-part Emergency Department (ED)-based "Asthma Belief and Control" intervention on healthcare utilization, asthma controller medication use, symptoms, and quality of life during the 6 months following an Emergency Department visit.

Description détaillée

Inner-city children are particularly at risk for poor asthma treatment outcomes and frequently obtain their asthma care in the ED. Prior studies have had limited success in improving primary care follow-up, quality of care, and long-term outcomes after a pediatric ED visit for asthma. Prior ED-based interventions have been designed to address barriers to follow-up with a primary care provider (PCP) such as an inability to obtain a follow-up appointment or lack of transportation. Focus groups and surveys of inner-city families have found that beliefs about the benefits of follow-up care and the role of preventive asthma medications have a strong impact on adherence to therapy.

This study will develop a brief educational video about the benefits of follow-up asthma care using a multi-disciplinary panel of experts at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and focus groups of parents of children with asthma. This educational video will then be combined into an intervention along with symptom screening and a reminder phone call that has been demonstrated to improve follow-up rates in a previous study. The combined intervention will be tested using a randomized trial design to determine its efficacy on healthcare utilization, asthma controller medication use, symptoms, and quality of life during the 6 months following an ED visit. The research is conducted as part of a research career development award.

Armes et Interventions

Groupe de participants / Bras
Intervention / Traitement
Aucune intervention: Control Subjects
These subjects will receive standard discharge instructions that recommend follow-up with a PCP within 3-5 days.
Expérimental: Intervention Subjects
As part of the intervention, the family will view a brief educational video about asthma control and therapy developed using provider and patient focus groups. For children reporting persistent asthma symptoms, a letter will be given to the family to bring to their PCP stating that screening revealed symptoms that may require further treatment with controller medications. A mailed reminder to schedule a follow-up appointment will be sent to the family.
Comportemental: Intervention Subjects
The subject's family will view a brief educational video about asthma control and therapy developed using provider and patient focus groups; a mailed reminder will be sent to the family to schedule a follow-up appointment.

Principaux critères de jugement

Mesure des résultats
Description de la mesure
Délai
Follow-up with a Primary Care Physician (PCP)
Délai: 4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after Emergency Department visit
At baseline, all subjects will complete the Parental Impressions of the Benefits (pros) and barriers (cons) of Follow-Up Care Scale (24-item instrument designed to measure perceived benefits and barriers to follow-up after an ED visit). Follow-up telephone contact will be made by the Primary Investigator or a research assistant after the initial Emergency Department visit. The person making the call will be unaware of the subjects group assignment (control or intervention). Families will be asked about the number of asthma-related follow-up visits which have been made to the Primary Care Physician. Information provided by families will be verified by medical record review.
