Study Summary
Few interventions to improve asthma management have targeted low-income minority asthmatic adults and even fewer have focused on the real-world practice where care is provided for these patients. This project tests the effectiveness of a Patient Advocate as a practical and sustainable method of facilitating and maintaining communication between patient and provider and access to chronic care for adults with moderate or severe asthma recruited from clinics serving low-income urban neighborhoods. We compare the use of a Patient Advocate to current asthma care and test the Patient Advocate's cost-effectiveness.
Primary Outcome
Asthma Control Questionnaire: In a randomized controlled trial we will assess whether 6 months of the Patient Advocate Intervention improves asthma control relative to baseline compared with usual care (UC) and whether such a difference is sustained in the 6 months following the intervention's completion. Asthma Control range is 0-6 with lower score better control (0= total control and 6 = extremetly uncontrolled. The minimally important clinical difference is 0.5. A score \> 1.5 is considered
