Abstract
This study assessed the ability of a community health worker asthma intervention to change home asthma triggers. A total of 56 children and 47 adults with asthma were enrolled. Home trigger scores for the children averaged 2.8 at the initial home visit and then 2.3, 2.1, and 2.0 at 3, 6, and 12 months. Home trigger scores for the adults showed a similar trend. Every home visit was associated with a 0.32 reduction in home trigger score (p < 0.01) for children and a 0.41 reduction (p < 0.01) for adults. This intervention shows promise as a way to reduce asthma triggers in urban low-income Latino communities.
