Coping Peer Intervention for Adherence

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Asthma

In brief

Inner-city African American and Hispanic adolescents suffer from disproportionately high rates of emergency room visits and hospitalizations for acute exacerbations of asthma. This study proposes the use of a coping peer support intervention, enhanced by a technology-based platform that infuses peer support throughout adolescents' daily routines, to increase adherence to daily controller medications and ultimately reduce asthma exacerbation risk in this important population subgroup.
