The Duke-Reinvestment Partners Community Collaborative (DRC)- Healthy Homes
The goal of this open-label, single arm home intervention feasibility study is to improve quality of life for children ages 4-16 years with asthma.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will be receiving HEI and completing asthma surveys.
All participants will receive an Intervention Kit, which could help with reducing environmental exposures. Participants will be monitored closely with up to 2 clinic visits, 2 home visits and up to 4 phone call visits. During the home visits, a study team will ask questions about your home and asthma, conduct home assessments, and provide training on use of the home kit.
Participants may benefit from participation in this study through Home-Based Environmental Interventions by improving home air-quality and asthma outcomes. Study duration is approximately 24-30 weeks with 8 weeks of intervention, which includes baseline interview, questionnaires, spirometry testing, and participants receiving an Intervention Kit.
