vDOT for Newly Diagnosed Pediatric Asthma

Sponsor: Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this research study is to compare the impact of video directly observed therapy on inhaler technique accuracy with participants receiving video directly observed therapy vs. participants receiving standard asthma care. Participants will be randomized between the two groups. We will follow up and compare the two groups to see if they have improved asthma control as measured by symptom-free days (SFD), higher inhaler technique at 3-month follow up, higher checklist scores on a standardized inhaler technique checklist, higher proportion of days covered (PDC) of their inhaled asthma controller medication, and have fewer acute care visits for asthma.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

vDOT Intervention Group

The vDOT intervention group will submit video clips of doses of inhaled controller asthma medication via the Emocha® smartphone application with each prescribed dose of inhaled controller medication. Each video will include a date and time stamp of the medication dose. Participant videos will be evaluated by trained personnel using an inhaler technique checklist to score each dose and create a report detailing the steps that were taken to complete the medication dose.
