The intervention includes a standard clinical appointment including spirometry, as well as collection of self-report information from detailed health and exposure questionnaires, asthma education, assessment for allergies, and a customized asthma self-management plan developed using motivational interviewing.

The home-based component includes environmental exposure assessment (observed and measured) and a multicomponent exposure reduction and asthma control intervention (five home visits over approximately 12 months).
