Comprehensive Patient-Centered Home-based Care Coaching for COPD Self-management

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai will conduct a randomized controlled trial of a self-management support intervention for predominantly minoritized and low-income adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The trial will focus on comprehensive screening and targeted management of barriers to COPD control, incorporating home-based pulmonary rehabilitation and oral steroid and antibiotic prescribing for pre-emptive treatment of COPD exacerbations. The research team will compare this intervention with an attention control group to evaluate the effects on medication adherence, COPD symptoms, inhaler technique, physical activity and exercise capacity at 6 months, and at 12 months to examine sustainability of treatment effects. The research team will also examine hospitalizations and emergency department visits at 12 months. The study will recruit 300 participants from the Mount Sinai Health System in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, ensuring diverse representation. Health coaches from the VNS Health will deliver the intervention, guided by a detailed training manual. Weekly conference calls will address logistical and protocol-related issues.
