Pollution Intervention to Impact Kids Asthma Study

Sponsor: University of Pittsburgh

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding Air Quality Index (AQI) information to asthma action plans works to improve asthma outcomes in children. It will also learn about children with asthma who report being more sensitive to outdoor air pollution. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does adding either information about the EPA-AQI or commercial AQI improve asthma outcomes over time? * Are there changes in nasal gene expression in children with asthma who report they are more sensitive to outdoor air pollution? Researchers will compare EPA-AQI and the commercial-AQI groups to a control group to either AQI works to improve asthma. Participants will: * Receive standardized outdoor air pollution education and an asthma action plan * Provide nose and blood specimens * Have visits every 4 weeks for 48 weeks, 10 will be conducted by telephone calls and 3 visits will be in person.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

EPA-AQI

The EPA-AQI group will receive standardized outdoor air pollution education, standardized AQI education, instructions for AQI usage, and an asthma action plan containing information specific for the EPA-AQI, and will demonstrate the ability to navigate to the EPA-AQI via smartphone app or website.

BEHAVIORAL

Commerical-AQI

The commercial-AQI group will receive standardized AQI education, instructions for commercial-AQI usage, and an asthma action plan containing information specific for the commercial-AQI, and will demonstrate the ability to navigate to the commercial-AQI via smartphone or website.

BEHAVIORAL

Education and plan

Standardized outdoor air pollution education and standard asthma action plan
