Study Summary
The overall aim of this research project is to test the effectiveness of an integrative program, using journaling, yoga breathing instruction, and nutritional manipulation and supplementation, on quality of life and clinical outcomes in adults with asthma. An additional aim is to determine whether an integrative approach to asthma management leads to cost savings when compared to standard clinical care.Patients will be randomly assigned to either the intervention condition or a waitlist control condition. For the intervention group, all measures will be obtained at baseline, immediately after the treatment protocol is completed, and then at three month and six month intervals after the completion of the intervention. For the control group, data will be collected at the same times as the intervention group, with one exception: data collected at the completion of the treatment protocol will be replaced with data collection at six weeks post-baseline for the control group. Data will be collected using measures of quality of life (Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire and SF-12), pulmonary function and health care utilization and expenditures. Participants assigned to the treatment group will begin in groups of ten. The treatment protocol will consist of six 1-2 hour sessions over a six-week period as follows: 1. Subjects will attend a two-session class on healthy eating focused on reducing inflammation-promoting foods in the diet. All subjects will also be started on fish oil and vitamin C supplements, as well as on a supplement called Kaprex, which is an extract from hops and rosemary with anti-inflammatory action. Supplements willl be provided free of charge. Subjects will be provided with a take home supply to begin using. 2. Subjects will attend two classes at CCHH in yoga breathing techniques and will then be provided with a CD for home study and practice 3. Subjects will attend two guided journaling sessions at CCHH in which subjects will be asked to write for a
