Improving Asthma Care within Vulnerable Populations

Roadmap

Asthma: Nationally and Locally

Study 1: Mental Health & Hospital Risks

Study 2: Adherence Feedback Intervention

Analysis of Vulnerable Population

What is Asthma?

Asthma Hospital Risk Adherence

Diagnosis and Treatment of Asthma

� Asthma is chronic condition

� Rescue medication and Controller medication

� The Cost of Chronic Illness¡ Asthma in

perspective6


Asthma: Nationally and Locally

� Socially and Medically Vulnerable Population

Aims of our Research


Improving Asthma

Care

Behavioral “Cue”

Increasing Adherence

to Medication

Improving Mental Health Care

Identifying Risk Factors for Poor Hospital Outcomes in Pediatric

Asthma Patients with Depression or Anxiety


Study 1

Mental Health & Readmission Risk

� Significance of Co-morbid Conditions

� Mental Health and Hospital Outcomes7-8

� Health Care and Societal Costs


Children at CHOP w/ Clinically Significant Depression and/or Anxiety

30%

Mental Health & Adherence

� Poor Asthma Control9-11

� Mental Health is a “driver” for asthma adherence


Study Design & Goals

� Goals:¡ Coping with Hospital Stressors

¡ Improved disease management

� Eligibility criteria¡ Age¡ Comorbidity ¡ Doser

Future Applications
