Background Few interventions have focused on the difficulties that African American women face when managing asthma. Objective To evaluate a telephone-based self-regulation intervention that emphasized African American women’s management of asthma in a series of 6 sessions. Methods A total of 422 African American women with persistent asthma were randomly assigned to either an intervention or control group receiving usual care. Behavioral factors, symptoms and asthma control, asthma-related quality of life, and health care use at baseline and 2 years after baseline were assessed. Generalized estimating equations were used to assess the long-term effect of the intervention on outcomes. Results Compared with the control group, those who completed the full intervention (6 sessions) had significant gains in self-regulation of their asthma (B estimate, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.17–1.30; P < .01), noticing changes to their asthma during their menstrual cycle (B estimate, 1.42; 95% CI, 0.69–2.15; P < .001), and when having premenstrual syndrome (B estimate, 1.70; 95% CI, 0.67–2.72; P < .001). They also had significant reductions in daytime symptoms (B estimate, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.27 to 0.03; P < .01), asthma-related hospitalization (B estimate, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.00–1.02; P < .05), and improved asthma control (B estimate, 1.34; 95% CI, 0.57–2.12; P < .001). However, neither grouped changed over time in outcomes. Conclusion Despite high comorbidity, African American women who completed a culturally responsive self-management program had improvements in asthma outcomes compared with the control group. Future work should address significant comorbidities and psychosocial issues alongside asthma management to improve asthma outcomes in the long term. Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier NCT01117805.

Background: Most chronic diseases are variable and an individual must exercise a significant degree of judgment regarding management. Self management therefore requires that the person understands the illness and actively participate in the treatment process. According to self regulation (SR) theory, individuals are required to set personally important goals that guide their behaviors through goalguidance process. Since, very few or almost no available data to assess self-regulation interventions focused on improving asthma knowledge and control, the current study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of asthma-self-regulation intervention among targeted patients. Methods/Design: A pre/post-test study design was used to compare a six-session asthma-self regulation intervention on participants' outcome. Intervention program was based on the principles of self-regulation for disease management, and all program activities and materials are designed to be responsive to the specific needs of participants. Thirty asthmatic patients were recruited for the study.Researchers assessed the effect of the intervention on patients' knowledge gains and control of asthma symptoms. Data were collected at baseline, immediately and two months after the program. Keywords:Asthma, Chronic disease self management, Selfregulation, Knowledge, Asthma control Research Article Open Access IntroductionAsthma is a major public health problem and one of the most common chronic conditions in the world. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, asthma caused more than 345,000 deaths worldwide in 2010 [1]. In Europe alone, asthma affects 30 million people and the cost of asthma care in Europe is estimated at £18 billion per year; lost productivity accounts for almost £10 billion of this [1]. The second half of the 20 th century was marked by a disturbing increase in frequency of allergic diseases, affecting approximately 20 percent of the global population, and the rate of bronchial asthma amongst adults is 5.4 percent (4.9% in men and 5.8% in women) [2]. Epidemiological studies in Saudi Arabia revealed an increasing prevalence of asthma in the past three decades, which may be attributed to the rapid lifestyle changes related to the modernization of Saudi society, changes in dietary habits, and exposure to environmental factors such as indoor allergens, dust, sand storms, and tobacco [3]. Asthma, a common chronic disorder of the airways in Saudi Arabia affecting more than 2 million Saudis, ranks19 th in terms of disability-adjusted life years [4].Asthma had an enormous impact on patient's wellbeing [5], despite the availability of effective treatments and evidencebased management guidelines [6]. Asthma can result in physical, emotional, and social limitations that can impair patients' quality oflife [7]. There is a growing burden of asthma in terms of morbidity,
