HEALTHY HOMES-II: ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLINICAL ASTHMA CONTROL

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。健康之家ii正在研究改善哮喘控制的两种主要方法。首先是提供患者教育，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。第二种是提供家庭外展、教育和资源（床上用品、吸尘器、清洁用品等），以解决环境问题（如健康之家I）。在自我管理、用药、医患沟通等方面也给予支持。家庭外展由社区卫生工作者（基于“自然帮助者”模式）提供，他们具有哮喘自我管理、控制环境哮喘诱因方面的专业知识和培训。

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.
