This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a training program designed specifically for adults over 60 with asthma. The program teaches you to better recognize when your airways are narrowing, using feedback from a simple breathing measurement device called a peak expiratory flow meter, combined with supportive coaching to help you manage your asthma better. The research team found in an early study that this approach helped older adults control their asthma more effectively.
Older adults with asthma often don't notice when their airways are getting blocked as easily as younger people do, which can lead to worse asthma control and more serious health problems. This trial exists to see whether training people to recognize these warning signs earlier—and pairing that with coaching support—can prevent asthma attacks and improve daily life.

You will attend 3 training sessions over 6 weeks, and then return for a follow-up session at 6 months. During the sessions, you'll learn to use a peak expiratory flow meter to measure your breathing and practice recognizing when your airways are narrowing, with one-on-one coaching support to help you improve your asthma self-management. Some participants will receive additional training at the 6-month visit, while others will receive educational information instead—all participants will be followed to see how well they manage their asthma over time.
