Summary

The purpose of this pilot study was to:

1. partner with African American churches to increase awareness of COPD.
2. use a community-based approach to facilitate early detection of COPD in the church setting. The pre-screening with a paper-based tool and spirometry testing were provided at community health fairs at the churches.
3. determine the impact of a combined intervention (education and mobile phone/text messages) on health related-related quality of life and health behaviors of African Americans with asthma and COPD.

The study used a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design to assess the effect of the intervention (education and mobile text-messaging) on health-related quality of life and health behaviors recommended for improved COPD self-management. All participants received the educational component then were randomized to a control group and intervention group, in which participants received mobile phone-based text messages on improving health behaviors associated with better self-management of asthma and COPD.

Conditions
