Brief Summary:
Improving Medication Adherence with Telehealthcare Medication Therapy Management to Change Health Outcomes in Adolescents and Young Adults with Asthma (MATCH) is a multi-center, randomized parallel group study targeted to an at-risk population of Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) with uncontrolled asthma who have poor adherence with prescribed Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Uncontrolled Asthma Young Adults Behavioral: Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Video Telehealthcare Behavioral: Electronic Adherence Self-Management (EAM) Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
The study evaluates a Medication Therapy Management (MTM) video telehealthcare intervention to address poor medication adherence. In addition, it employs a novel method to track and provide feedback to participants on adherence by using Propeller Sensors. 300 adolescents and young adults will be randomized to Medication Therapy Management (MTM) video telehealthcare plus electronic adherence self-management [MTM EAM] or electronic adherence self-management alone (EAM). Due to the hierarchal design of the trial, two primary outcomes to be tested in a sequential manner are specified, adherence and time to first asthma exacerbation.

Behavioral: Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Video Telehealthcare
MTM is an individualized approach to "optimize medication use for improved patient outcomes" and is designed to "empower patients to take an active role in managing patients' medications" thus, providing a favorable strategy for addressing adherence issues. Five core elements define MTM: complete medication therapy review (CMR), creation of a personal medication list (PML), development of a medication action plan (MAP), intervention and/or referral for drug therapy problems, and documentation and follow-up

Behavioral: Electronic Adherence Self-Management (EAM)
Participants will have a sensor which monitors their adherence to medication use

Active Comparator: EAM only

Participants will have a sensor which monitors their adherence to medication use




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time (days) to first exacerbation event [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Time to first asthma exacerbation is the time to first exacerbation event defined as a worsening of asthma requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days, or asthma-specific emergency department visit with treatment with systemic corticosteroids, or asthma-specific hospitalization, or death (all cause and asthma exacerbation). 104. These data will be collected by self-report in the "My Asthma" bi-weekly assessment questionnaire, and verified by the study site coordinator with the participant's provider.

  2. Proportion of adherent days as assessed by Propeller sensors [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Adherence will be measured using data collected from Propeller sensors. Adherence for each day is calculated as the number of inhalations taken divided by the expected number of doses. A day will be defined as adherent if the participant completes 80% or more of the prescribed inhalations. The primary outcome will be the proportion of adherent days over the course of follow-up, i.e. from the randomization visit to the 1-year visit.
