Scientific title | Evaluation of a school-based, peer-led asthma education programme on quality of life, asthma-related knowledge and self-efficacy to resist smoking among adolescents with asthma in high schools in Jordan |
Study acronym | Triple A in Jordan (TAJ programme) |
Study objectives | A school-based, peer-led asthma education program (TAJ) improves quality of life, asthma-related knowledge and self-efficacy to resist smoking among adolescents with asthma attending high schools in Jordan. |
Ethics approval(s) | 1. Human Research Ethics Committe, the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia, approved on 23/08/2006 (ref: 2006-214A) 2. Ministry of Education, Irbid, Jordan, approved on 11/07/2006 (ref: 35794/10/3) |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Asthma, wheezing |
Intervention | This is a cluster-randomised (at the school level), controlled trial. Four schools were randomly selected from the list of all eligible schools in the Irbid region, stratified by gender. The intervention is an adaptation and implementation of the Triple A programme (TAJ), which was developed by Shah in 1993 in Australia. Triple A is a peer-led education programme that involves senior students educating younger peers about asthma and smoking through a three-step implementation process in high schools (description of the TAJ programme in: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9436069). Students in the intervention schools recieved the modified Triple A programme, and students in the control schools did not receive any intervention but continued their usual routine. 261 students were recruited but 241 completed the trial. |

Primary outcome measure | Asthma-related quality of life, assessed by the Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) All primary and secondary outcomes were assessed at baseline (December 2006) and at post-intervention (April 2007). |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Asthma knowledge of self-management, assessed by the Consumer Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire (CQ) 2. Self-efficacy to resist smoking, assessed by the Self-Administered Nicotine-Dependence Self-Efficacy Sub-Scale (SANDSES) All primary and secondary outcomes were assessed at baseline (December 2006) and at post-intervention (April 2007). All three questionnaires used in this trial were self-administered and were in validated Arabic versions. |
