摘要

The Partnership for Asthma Trigger-free Homes (PATH) study's main goal is reducing the asthma disease burden on low-income housing residents by means of a peer-based education program. Although asthma is a complicated multi- factorial disease with both genetic and environmental components, reducing levels of certain indoor asthma triggers can reduce the disease's symptoms and severity. Indoor asthma triggers include allergens from dust mites, cockroaches, cats, dogs, and rodents; environmental tobacco smoke (ETS); pesticides; and molds. The Project Coordinator will train participants (parents or guardians over 18 years old) recruited from the Memphis Housing Authority and the Memphis Health Center about asthma, in general, and about indoor asthma triggers, in particular. Moreover, participants will learn about behaviors they can adopt or modify to reduce indoor asthma triggers. The training will be reinforced by Community Peer Educators (CPEs) -- students from LeMoyne-Owen College and the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and resident presidents of four MHA housing developments. Preliminary data analysis suggests that the program was effective in improving general asthma knowledge in the target population. Final results will be completed and included in the Final Report After the successful implementation of this program in public and low-income housing, PATH may be transferred to a military setting if additional funding is procured. Cheryl Golden, Ph.D. of LeMoyne Owen College and Sue Greco, Sc.D. of Abt Associates Inc. are the co-Principal Investigators for the PATH study.
