Study Summary

This trial is testing a new model of care for urban teens with difficult to control asthma that includes an individualized asthma management plan, school-based or video-supported directly observed therapy, and follow-up telehealth visits with a nurse asthma educator. The hypothesis is that this intervention will reduce morbidity and improve guideline-based asthma care.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for teens aged 12-17 in Rochester with moderate to severe asthma that isn't well-controlled, despite treatment. They must not have other major health issues like heart disease or cystic fibrosis, be in foster care without guardian consent, involved in another asthma study, planning to move soon, or recently seen by an asthma specialist.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The TEAM-UP for Teens program is being tested against Enhanced Care (EC) control. It includes a school-based telemedicine visit with an asthma specialist to create a management plan, directly observed therapy at school or via video and follow-up visits with a nurse educator.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on care delivery rather than medication testing, side effects are not the primary concern; however, any standard risks associated with new medications prescribed during the program will apply.

Active Control

Group I: TEAM-UP for Teens InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

TEAM-UP for Teens pairs school-based and video-supported directly observed therapy (DOT) of daily preventive asthma medications with specialist care and ongoing self-management support using live, real-time telemedicine through school.

Group II: Enhanced Care ComparisonActive Control1 Intervention

Teens in the EC group will receive a symptom assessment and asthma education materials at baseline, and their PCPs will be contacted by facsimile or email to recommend DOT of preventive asthma medication through school as well as referral to an asthma specialist. Systematic reminders will be sent to the family and PCPs to schedule recommended healthcare visits and consider specialist referral at the same intervals as the TEAM-UP group's virtual visits.
