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 whether a comprehensive home-based coaching program called SaMBA-COPD helps people with moderate to severe COPD manage their condition more effectively. The program is delivered by community health workers who visit your home, screen for barriers to controlling your COPD (like medication adherence or depression), and provide personalized support including breathing exercises and help managing medications. The study compares this intensive approach to a standard educational support program.
Many people with COPD struggle to manage their condition on their own, leading to flare-ups that require emergency care and hospitalizations. This trial aims to see whether personalized, home-based coaching from trained community health workers—especially those from your own community—can help you better control your symptoms, stick to your medication plan, and avoid serious complications.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either the comprehensive SaMBA-COPD coaching program or standard educational support, both delivered by community health workers through home visits. Over the course of one year, you will have regular visits where your coach works with you to identify barriers to controlling your COPD, teaches you breathing exercises, helps you manage medications, and provides education about your condition. The study will track how you're doing at 6 months and again at 12 months to see if the coaching helps you stay healthier and better control your symptoms.
