You may qualify if…
- The study participants will be a non-institutionalized ambulatory sample of women who are willing to participate in the project and meet the following criteria:
- Self-identify as African-American
- 18 years of age or older
- Are listed on the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) Asthma Patient Registry, a validated, all-payer registry of patients with persistent asthma cared for within the UM Health System
- Have access to a telephone or cell phone
- Are not pregnant.. Because the UMHS Asthma Patient Registry is validated, there is minimal risk of diagnostic misclassification. The Registry is created and maintained with a two-step process of identification and validation. UMHS patients with persistent asthma are initially identified through the electronic medical record using National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) criteria, billing and claims data (when available), and then are validated using documented clinical diagnoses, pulmonary function test (PFT) results, or clinician review.
You may not qualify if…
- Patients with chronic respiratory conditions, including cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are excluded
