An interventional study of Tailored Problem Solving Intervention and Family Education Intervention in Asthma, sponsored by Case Western Reserve University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 6 Years to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-09-19.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a tailored problem solving intervention in increasing adherence to asthma management behaviors in African American adolescents with asthma.
BACKGROUND:
Children and adolescents who are unable to adhere to their medical regimen for the management of chronic illness present considerable challenges to health care providers and researchers. Pediatric asthma is a chronic illness where the consequences of non-adherence are particularly detrimental and widespread, especially among economically disadvantaged minority children and their families. Studies of intervention of asthma management are needed for this population.
DESIGN NARRATIVE:
The aim of the proposed study is to test the efficacy of a problem solving intervention that is tailored to the observed adherence behaviors and identified barriers to increasing adherence in African American children and adolescents with asthma, and their families. Patients are randomized to either a Tailored Problem Solving Intervention, or a control group who will receive Family Education Intervention. Duration of the intervention is four months.
4,010 studies on the registry are indexed under Asthma; 514 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 120 is above the median of 83 across 2,814 interventional studies indexed under Asthma.
