Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the Coping with Asthma through Life Management (CALM) intervention, designed to help Black adult with asthma cope with stress, is feasible and acceptable.

Detailed description

Asthma medication nonadherence is a major contributor to asthma morbidity and mortality in Black adults. Black adults with asthma reported that increased psychosocial stress (e.g., perceived discrimination, job stress, caregiver burden), health-related stress (e.g., concern about asthma control), and economic stress (e.g., economic strain) were barriers to asthma medication adherence and control. The study's hypothesis is that CALM, targeting multiple stressors specifically faced by Black adults with asthma, will be feasibly implemented in a health system, will be acceptable to program participants, and will be a potentially effective intervention to improve asthma medication adherence and asthma control.

Conditions
