Comprehensive Patient-Centered Home-based Care Coaching for COPD Self-management
Sponsor: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Summary
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai will conduct a randomized controlled trial of a self-management support intervention for predominantly minoritized and low-income adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The trial will focus on comprehensive screening and targeted management of barriers to COPD control, incorporating home-based pulmonary rehabilitation and oral steroid and antibiotic prescribing for pre-emptive treatment of COPD exacerbations. The research team will compare this intervention with an attention control group to evaluate the effects on medication adherence, COPD symptoms, inhaler technique, physical activity and exercise capacity at 6 months, and at 12 months to examine sustainability of treatment effects. The research team will also examine hospitalizations and emergency department visits at 12 months. The study will recruit 300 participants from the Mount Sinai Health System in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, ensuring diverse representation. Health coaches from the VNS Health will deliver the intervention, guided by a detailed training manual. Weekly conference calls will address logistical and protocol-related issues.

Interventions
Self-Management Support
The intervention will be delivered by CHWs in person and supplemented with telephone or video encounters over 6 months. The intervention comprises six core elements: engagement, intake, self-management assessment, barrier screening, actions to address identified barriers, and follow-up/maintenance support.
COPD Education
The attention control is where CHWs will provide COPD education using the COPD 1-2-3 booklet. The attention control will consist of 6 CHW visits (approximately 1 per month) with the patient and care giver in their home or via video conference, per patient preference.
