Technology- Assisted Stepped Care Intervention Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Asthma

In brief

The overall goal of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility, implementation, and preliminary efficacy of a technology-assisted stepped care (TASC) adherence-promotion intervention in adolescents with asthma. Preliminary efficacy will be demonstrated by improved adherence to daily inhaled corticosteroids as measured by Propeller Health electronic monitoring devices. The TASC intervention will result in improved disease severity measured by the Composite Asthma Severity Index (combining dose of asthma medication required, asthma symptom burden, and frequency of exacerbations and health care utilization) and lung function as measured by mobile spirometry. The TASC adherence-promotion intervention implementation will be successful as evidenced by high levels of feasibility (e.g., attendance), acceptability (20 item Acceptability Questionnaire), and usability (10 item Usability Scale).
