Summary

Adults with asthma living in Chicago's West and Southwest side who completed the home-based Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention called Helping Chicago's Westside Adults Breathe and Thrive (HCWABT I) after October 2015 were eligible to participate in a randomized control trial called HCWABT II, which will evaluate the long-term impact of the intervention on their asthma control, asthma severity, healthcare use, and asthma-related quality of life. Participants are randomly assigned to an intervention arm, where they continue to receive occasional (monthly or bimonthly) contact from the CHW who served them during HCWABT I. or a control arm, where they no longer receive contact from the CHW. Members of both groups receive monthly data collection calls from a Research Assistant. We hypothesize that participants in the control arm will experience sustained improvements in asthma outcomes as compared to their pre-HCWABT I levels and that participants in the CHW intervention arm will continue to improve in asthma control severity, quality of life, and healthcare use.

BEHAVIORAL

Maintenance Phase Intervention

The CHW will utilize motivational interviewing techniques over phone calls to reinforce all asthma education provided in the AI phase, including asthma basics, triggers and reduction strategies, purpose of medications, and steps for proper medication use. The CHW will identify barriers the participant is facing in management of their asthma and set goals to overcome them. The CHW will encourage regular visits with the Primary Care Physician and assist with referrals for other medical and social services, as needed. CHWs will check-in with participants via phone, monthly for the first 6 months and bi-monthly in the remaining 6 months Participants will receive bi-monthly data collection follow-up phone calls by a Research Assistant.
