Clinical Trial Summary

The overall goal of this research study is to test the effectiveness of a multifaceted and multi-level prompting intervention in a real world urban primary care office setting on improving provider-delivered guideline-based asthma care and reducing asthma morbidity among urban children with persistent or uncontrolled asthma.


Clinical Trial Description

Investigators will conduct a cluster randomized trial comparing the intervention to enhanced usual care (eUC) in 20 Bronx practices serving over 5,000 children ages 2-12 years with persistent or uncontrolled asthma. Eleven eUC practices will receive guideline information and assess children's asthma severity and control, but active intervention components will not be provided. Practices will join the study in 4 waves over 4 years (4-6 practices per year). Provider adoption of guidelines and utilization of care in all patients (~5,000) ages 2-12 years with persistent or uncontrolled asthma from intervention and eUC practices will be evaluated using Electronic Health Records (EHR) data and practice-based screening for asthma severity and control. Investigators will also enroll a random subset of 512 caregivers of children with persistent/uncontrolled asthma from both study arms to systematically evaluate caregiver-reported child morbidity outcomes and obtain measures not available in EHR. Intervention consists of academic detailing in the EHR that follow national asthma guidelines and outreach worker care coordination for patients with persistent or uncontrolled asthma. ;
