Brief Summary
40 subjects with moderate-to-severe asthma will be randomly selected for study in which 20, will be monitored for medication use (Dulera 100/5, Dulera 200/5 and Proventil HFA) over 3 months. These intervention subjects will receive medication use feedback at each visit, while the control group will receive the standard of asthma care. Those interventional subjects with Dulera adherence\<60% will receive feedback based on an asthma adherence disease management model protocol, Asthma Adherence Pathway. Intervention clinicians will been trained in Motivational Interviewing to reduce subject ambivalence about medication use. The primary hypothesis is that subjects who receive medication monitoring and Motivational Interviewing adherence strategies will have better asthma control, as measured by the Asthma Control Questionnaire, than the control group.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Asthma Control
Asthma Control Questionnaire measured at each office visit. ACQ integrates values by 6 clinical questions related to symptoms and the value related to FEV1% predicted with a total score ranging from 0-6 and higher values indicating poorer asthma control.
Baseline, one, two and three months
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Adherence to Dulera 100/5 and 200/5
week 2. months 1, 2, and 3
Overall Adherence to Dulera 100/5 and 200/5
3 months
Study Arms (2)
Dulera adherence monitoring
EXPERIMENTALAdherence Monitoring Dulera; Identification of adherence barrier(s); Motivational Interviewing Adherence Strategies to promote adherence
Dulera Standard of Asthma Care
ACTIVE COMPARATORDulera standard of asthma care
Interventions
Dulera is a combination product containing a corticosteroid and a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist, FDA approved and indicated for treatment of asthma in patients 12 years of age and older.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Physician diagnosis of asthma of moderate severity
- Subjects ≥ 18 years of age
- Currently receiving an inhaled corticosteroid medication and being prescribed Dulera 100/5 as part of standard of care based upon asthma severity and dosing guidelines
- Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) result \> 1.0 at entry
- Demonstration of correct inhalation technique for use of meter-dosed inhalers (MDIs)
You may not qualify if:
- Intermittent asthma (asthma exacerbations or symptoms \< 3 days/week)
- Diagnosis of emphysema in prior year
- Diagnosis at any time of: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, Churg Strauss, Wegener's, sarcoidosis, pulmonary hypertension or lung cancer
- On any medication documented to have a drug interaction with Dulera
