This study is looking at ways to help older adults with asthma better understand their breathing. People over 60 with asthma are more likely to have serious problems, partly because they might not notice when their airways are getting blocked as much as younger adults do. This study will involve either "PEF Interventional Sessions" or "Control Sessions" over 6 weeks, with some participants also receiving a booster session later. Researchers will measure your peak expiratory flow (PEF) values, which show how fast you can breathe air out, and your daily inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) dose to see if these interventions help improve asthma management. You can join if you are over 60, speak English or Spanish, have had asthma for over a year, and your asthma is not well-controlled. We are looking to enroll 300 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study with 300 planned participants. It compares different behavioral sessions for asthma management.

What's involved

You would attend 3 sessions over 6 weeks, and some participants will have a single booster session after 6 months. Your breathing and medication use will be checked at different times over 12 months.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for 12 months after the intervention, with assessments at 1-month, 6-months, and 12-months.
