The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two different ways to teach hospitalized children how to use a metered dose inhaler and to follow-up after discharge home from the hospital to determine durability of the education.
Asthma is the most common chronic childhood condition and has significant adverse consequences. One in 12 United States children has asthma, resulting in 13.4 million missed school days, 1 million emergency department visits, and 140,000 hospitalizations annually.
A key barrier to self-management of asthma is improper use of respiratory inhalers, which limits disease control. Better inhaler technique is associated with improved asthma outcomes for children. Assessment and education of inhaler technique are recommended at all healthcare encounters, however it is limited in practice because it is resource intensive (both personnel and time) and lacks fidelity. Thus, low-resource interventions that accurately teach inhaler skills are needed to impact pediatric asthma outcomes.
Teach-to-Goal (TTG) is a patient-centered strategy that uses tailored rounds of teaching and assessments to ensure mastery of inhaler technique. Studies show it is effective but resource intensive. A "virtual TTG" (V-TTG) intervention represents an opportunity to deliver inhaler technique education with a high-fidelity, low-resource, and feasible strategy. The module utilizes innovative learning technology with video demonstrations and assessment questions to tailor education to each user; the cycles of assessment and education continues until satisfactory mastery is achieved.
This study evaluates the comparative effectiveness of this high-fidelity, low-resource, and feasible model (V-TTG) versus a standardized brief intervention that mimics usual care to deliver tailored inhaler technique education to children with severe asthma via a randomized clinical trial.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virtual Teach-to-Goal (V-TTG) | Experimental | The RA will show the patient how to use the tablet to access the education module and be available for questions about the technology / tablet but not about the content. Within the module, the child will:
If a child answers any questions incorrectly, they will watch the video again and have another chance to answer the incorrect questions. The child will receive instruction by video one or multiple times (up to 3 times), depending on how much they understand after each round of instruction, as demonstrated by their responses to questions. |
|
| Brief Intervention (BI) | Active Comparator | The RA will give the patient a handout about inhaler technique and read the steps to the child. |

| Virtual Teach to Goal | Behavioral | Virtual Teach-to-Goal is an educational module that teaches children how to use their inhaler properly; this is done with an IPAD. In the module, the child will complete a series of questions as a pre-assessment, watch a video about how to use the inhaler properly, and then answer a series of questions as a post-assessment. If a child answers any questions incorrectly, they will watch the video again and have another chance to answer the incorrect questions. The child will receive instruction by video one or multiple times (up to 3 times), depending on how much they understand after each round of instruction, as demonstrated by their responses to questions. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of participants with metered dose inhaler (MDI) misuse immediately after V-TTG vs. BI education | Evaluate effectiveness of V-TTG as compared to BI as measured by inhaler technique post-intervention. This will provide data on the short-term effectiveness of the interventions. Each patient's inhaler technique will be assessed using validated inhaler checklists by the trained assessor. | Initial study visit / baseline |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Acceptability of V-TTG among children and parents based on Likert-scale questions (1-5) | Questionnaires of children and parents immediately after completing the V-TTG intervention. Likert-scale questions will focus on whether children and parents like the V-TTG education, would be willing to use, and would recommend to a friend. | Initial study visit - after completing V-TTG intervention |

We will conduct a single-site randomized clinical trial of V-TTG versus brief intervention (BI) for school-aged children (5-11 years) with severe asthma hospitalized at University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital. We aim to enroll 70 participants. The project team will identify eligible children who meet inclusion criteria. Block randomization will be utilized, stratified by age (5-8 vs. 9-11 years).

| Usability of V-TTG among children and parents based on open-ended questions | Interviews with children and parents immediately after completing the V-TTG intervention. Open-ended questions will be utilized to assess what children and parents like or do not like about the module and how it could be utilized in clinical settings, at home, at school. | Initial study visit - after completing V-TTG intervention |
