ENLaCE Pilot Study
Using MEDUCATION to Improve Asthma Medication Device Technique
연구 개요
상세 설명
Asthma affects almost 10% of children and is the most common health condition reported by North Carolina public schools. Latino children have higher rates of uncontrolled asthma and more asthma-related emergency department visits than their White counterparts. No studies have evaluated Latino children's asthma device technique; poor technique can compromise medication delivery to the lungs.
The TraCS engagement core has spent the last 18 months developing the Expanding Networks for Latinos through Community Engagement (ENLaCE) network, which is comprised of over 15 organizations in the Greensboro area. The core would now like to conduct a feasibility study to determine whether ENLaCE can be used to recruit Latino children into a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to improve their asthma medication device technique. This would be the first assessment of whether ENLaCE can be used to recruit patients.
MEDUCATION, an NIH-funded project developed by Polyglot Systems, Inc., has developed asthma device technique videos in Spanish and English. The member groups of ENLaCE believe the MEDUCATION videos are highly relevant for the Greensboro Latino community. Children will be recruited from two pediatric ENLaCE clinics in Greensboro and randomly assigned to watch device technique videos (experimental group; n=50) or a nutrition video (control group, n=50) in Spanish or English after a regularly-scheduled medical visit. Children's device technique will be assessed before and after the visit. Process evaluation data will also be collected.

2-minute video that displays proper inhaler, diskus, and turbuhaler technique.
The video will only be watched once at the medical visit.
Children in this group will be given a wallet card so they can access the video via the Internet after leaving the asthma clinic.

Change in inhaler, turbuhaler, and diskus technique
기간: Baseline and 1-month follow-up
|
Children will demonstrate how they use their metered-dose inhalers, turbuhalers, and diskuses using empty devices.
The research assistant will record the number of steps performed correctly.
Correct use of inhalers, diskuses, and turbuhalers will be measured as continuous variables.

Child inhaler self-efficacy
기간: Baseline and 1-month follow-up
|
Child inhaler self-efficacy will be measured as a continuous variable using 1 item from the Bursch asthma management self-efficacy measure, "How sure are you that you can use your inhaler correctly?"
|
Baseline and 1-month follow-up
|
|
Asthma Control
기간: Baseline and 1-month follow-up
|
The Asthma Control Test is a 5-item questionnaire assessing asthma symptoms, use of rescue medications, and the effect of asthma on daily functioning.
Scores range from 5 (poor control) to 25 (complete control).
Studies show that the Asthma Control Test is reliable, valid, and responsive to temporal changes in asthma control.
