简要总结
Text2Breathe (T2B) is a randomized controlled trial aimed at improving communication between parents and their children's' primary care providers about asthma. The overarching goal of this study is to reduce disparities among a population with high rates of pediatric asthma morbidity. The investigators are testing the efficacy of a short message service (SMS)-enhanced health communication (HC) intervention ("Text2Breathe") designed to equip urban, low-income parents with tools for communicating effectively with their children's primary care provider (PCP).
详细描述
Potentially eligible participants are approached and screened in person during an admission of their child to the emergency department for asthma care. Those participants randomized to the intervention will receive additional education on effective communication with their child's primary care provider (PCP). These participants will also receive educational text messages for three months after their initial visit. Text messages will include education on effectively communicating with their child's provider and general asthma information. Both the control group and intervention group will receive text message reminders to schedule regular follow up visits with their PCP and get an annual flu shot. Both groups will be contacted for follow up phone interviews at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control Group
Participants randomized to the control group will receive their usual asthma care from their provider. Additionally, participants in the control group will receive reminder texts to schedule with their child's PCP and to get an annual flu shot. Participants will be surveyed over the phone for 20-30 minutes 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after enrollment.
Text2Breathe Study Group
The "study" group spends about 10-20 minutes learning about ways to have better communication with their child's primary care provider about his/her asthma. Additionally this group is enrolled in the Text2Breathe messaging program which sends asthma related educational text messages 2 times a week for 3 months. Participants randomized to the study group will also receive reminder texts to schedule with their child's PCP and to get an annual flu shot. Participants will be surveyed over the phone for 20-30 minutes 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after enrollment.
