Study Summary

This trial is testing an intervention program to help families of Latino children with asthma cope with stress. The program will teach families skills to cope with asthma-related and other sources of stress. The study will compare the effects of the combined coping skills + asthma management program with a standard asthma management program in 280 families of Latino children with asthma.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Latino children aged 8-14 with asthma, and their families. Participants must speak English or Spanish, have a confirmed asthma diagnosis, and be patients at a participating clinic. Children with disabilities that prevent participation beyond primary care accommodations cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a coping skills program combined with standard asthma management against the standard treatment alone in Latino children living in low-income areas. It aims to see if adding coping strategies helps manage stress-related factors contributing to uncontrolled asthma.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on coping skills and standard asthma management techniques rather than medication, there are no direct medical side effects expected from the interventions being studied.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Combined coping skills + asthma management armExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The combined coping skills + asthma management arm is a family-based coping skills + asthma management intervention that is bilingual and culturally relevant for Latino families. This program is manualized with video-guided and interactive content to improve coping with stress and asthma management behaviors for both children and their parents. Coping strategies taught include primary and secondary control coping. Asthma management content is interactive and culturally tailored.

Group II: Standard asthma management armActive Control1 Intervention

The standard asthma management (AM) arm is an asthma management intervention covering standard asthma self-management content (e.g., symptom recognition, self-monitoring). AM is manualized and is matched in length, time, and number of sessions to the experimental arm.

What is the fundamental aim of this research project?

"This trial, which requires monitoring for up to a year after the intervention, seeks to evaluate Asthma Control through the use of an Asthma Control Test (ACT). Secondary objectives include Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) as gauged by spirometry—a technique in which participants forcefully expel air from their lungs in one second and have that amount measured; school attendance according to data collected via an Asthma Outcomes Questionnaire (AOQ); and pediatric Quality of Life assessed with a Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Self Report covering physical, social, emotional and academic facets."
