About

This research is studying whether changing an individual's behaviors may have an impact as a treatment or outcome for asthma.

The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate an asthma self-management intervention through multiple locations in the United States that is tailored to the challenges older adults face and is based on an individual behavioral theory of change.

Eligible participants will be enrolled and participate for six weeks in the SOAR intervention.

Enrollment: 20 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 60+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Description:

The SOAR intervention will be a remote intervention that will follow a self-regulation process in which the participant first selects a specific problem to address and researches how asthma is preventing resolution of the problem, and finally identifies and develops a plan to achieve the objective.
