HEALTHY HOMES-II: ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLINICAL ASTHMA CONTROL

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。健康之家-II正在寻找改善哮喘控制的两种主要方法。第一是提供患者教育、自我管理培训、制定针对患者的哮喘行动计划，以及由哮喘护士进行病例管理/审查。第二是提供家庭外展、教育和资源(床罩、吸尘器、清洁用品等)。以解决环境诱因(如健康家庭I)。在自我管理、用药、医患沟通等方面也给予支持。居家外展由具有哮喘自我管理、控制环境哮喘诱因的专门知识和培训的社区卫生工作者(基于“自然帮助者”模式)提供。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Healthy Homes-II is looking at two main approaches to improving asthma control. The first is to provide patient education, training in self-management, development of a patient-specific asthma action plan, and case management/review by an asthma nurse. The second is to provide this plus in-home outreach, education and resources (bedding covers, vacuums, cleaning supplies etc.) to address environmental triggers (like Healthy Homes I). Support in self-management, medication use, provider-patient communication, etc. is also given. The in-home outreach is provided by community health workers (based on the "natural helper" model) with specialized knowledge and training in asthma self management, control of environmental asthma triggers.
