Study Summary

This trial will test an online program, CAMP Air, to see if it can help manage asthma in inner-city adolescents. It will also study what makes it hard or easy to use the program in high schools.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for urban Black and Hispanic adolescents with uncontrolled asthma, as indicated by frequent symptoms or emergency visits. It's not for pregnant teens, 12th graders (due to graduation), those with conditions like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, or severe learning disabilities that could affect participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of CAMP Air, a digital health program designed to manage asthma in teenagers. The comparison is made against a basic asthma education intervention. Researchers will also explore what helps or hinders the program's use in schools.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on educational interventions rather than medications, there are no direct side effects from drugs being tested. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety related to engagement with the program.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: CAMP AirExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This is an e-health intervention consisting of 7 online modules. This behavioral intervention combines instruction, hands-on learning, interactive practice opportunities and tailored sessions. Teens learn about asthma, including treatment and triggers, the importance of seeing a medical provider and how they can overcome their specific barriers to seeing a medical provider, how they can talk to their parents about their asthma, and how they can care for their asthma, including managing stress and triggers. They also receive personalized feedback throughout the intervention and guidance on navigating the health care system.
Group II: Attention Control Asthma Education InterventionActive Control1 Intervention
The control intervention consists of 7 online sessions delivered via PowerPoint slides with voice-over. Teens receive information on asthma and other related health conditions, such as stress and sleep, and will be given a list of relevant websites to learn more about these topics. They will learn how to monitor their health using checklists and will be referred to a medical provider for asthma and other conditions; if they do have a medical provider, they will be provided with a referral. The asthma education component for this group lacks the interactive and personalized elements of CAMP Air, differentiating it from the experimental arm.
