Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify community resources and challenges in improving the health of community members with asthma.

The primary goal of this project is to use Community-Based Participatory Research methodology to develop interventions aimed at improving asthma management in high-risk African American asthmatics. This "ground-up" longterm approach has never been tested before in asthmatics. The primary goal of this study will be accomplished with four specific aims:

Aim 1. Conduct focus groups to identify barriers to asthma management in the target population.

Aim 2. Use a community advisory board (CAB) consisting of participants selected from the various focus groups to gather information about solutions for the above barriers.

Aim 3. Use the information from the CAB to develop an intervention to improve asthma self management behaviors in the target population.

Aim 4. Refine the developed intervention based on feedback from focus groups conducted in Aim 1.
