Summary

This study will test the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of Controlling Asthma Program for Adolescents (CAMP Air), an e-health intervention, among urban predominately Black and Hispanic adolescents with uncontrolled asthma. It will also examine barriers and facilitators to adoption and implementation of CAMP Air in high-schools.

Detailed description

Asthma prevalence and morbidity are high among adolescents, especially among Black and Hispanic youth. Yet, few interventions have been tested in adolescents. Despite the important role that technology plays in the lives of adolescents, only one intervention for adolescents with asthma is web-based. Additionally, research informing the scale-up of asthma interventions as well as their cost-effectiveness are scant. This study aims to address these treatment and methodological gaps by (1) systematically evaluating the efficacy of Controlling Asthma Program for Adolescents (CAMP Air), an e-health intervention, in urban adolescents with uncontrolled asthma; (2) assessing CAMP Air's cost-effectiveness; and (3) identifying multi-level factors associated with successful implementation of CAMP Air to inform its future scale-up. Due to COVID, at the start of the study, the spirometry data will not be collected from the participants (Secondary Outcomes 7 - 9). The investigators plan to interview adolescents as the primary respondent for all outcomes. Caregivers and school personnel are invited to be interviewed.
