ENLaCE Pilot Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Asthma

In brief

This is a feasibility study to determine whether the Expanding Networks for Latinos through Community Engagement (ENLaCE) can be used to recruit Latino children into a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to improve their asthma medication device technique. Children will be recruited from two pediatric ENLaCE clinics in Greensboro and randomly assigned to watch device technique videos (experimental group; n=50) or a nutrition video (control group, n=50) in Spanish or English after a regularly-scheduled medical visit. Children's device technique will be assessed before and after the visit. Process evaluation data will also be collected. The investigators hypothesize that children in the intervention group will have better device technique post-intervention than the control group.
