The concurrence increase of both obesity and asthma among children has been noticed worldwide during the past two decades, there is a need to an effective intervention to reduce the obesity-related medical and social cost. As mobile health technology has been widely applied in the prevention and management of health problem, smart phone applications offer a potentially powerful approach for behavioral change through delivering convenient, individual tailored intervention. Purposes of this study are three-fold: (1) to develop an age-appropriate tailored KidsHealth Smart Phone Intervention (SPI) to modify the healthy lifestyles for asthma children with obesity risks; (2) to evaluate the feasibility and accessibility of interventions delivered by Smart Phone technology; (3) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Smart Phone applications in improving the healthy behaviors and outcomes for school-age children with asthma.MethodsThis study will consist of three-year program. Research subjects will be recruited in selected elementary schools in Taipei. Children aged 9-12 of body mass index (BMI) more than 85th percentile and at risks of unhealthy life styles, with permission of parents or legal guardian are eligible to participate in the study. In the first year, we will conduct a Delphi method to develop the Smart Phone Intervention platform, and then conduct a preliminary testing on children. In the second year, we plan to apply a randomized two-group comparative design to evaluate the feasibility of the SPI program and revise for applications on the further trials. In the third year, we will conduct a randomized controlled pilot study on children with asthma and non-asthma at school and home settings to evaluate the effectiveness of the Smart Phone applications in improving the healthy behaviors and health outcomes. Data of the outcome measures are collected at the time of randomization (T1) and further 4 waves at 12-month follow-up (T2-T5). Outcome measures include healthy lifestyle behaviors: food and beverage intake, physical activity, sedentary behaviors and adequate sleep. The health outcomes are health status (asthma symptom control and disease progression), frequency of ER visit, days of school absence and body composition measured by body mass index, waist circumferences, and body fat. Sample size is estimated by power analysis and dropout rate, the eligible sample size of the intervention group will be 30 and 220 in the phase II and phase III study. Repeated ANOVA, Intention to Treat (ITT), and generalized estimating equation (GEE) will be conducted for the statistical analysis.Expected outcomesThis randomized controlled pilot study of smart phone platform can provide dynamic feedback to the school-age asthma children to deliver healthy behavior change, the program development and implementation can be a reference for the e-Health action plan for children with other chronic health conditions to foster their healthy lifestyle behaviors and health outcomes.智慧型手機氣喘健康生活型態氣喘症狀控制隨機對照試驗研究smart phone applicationsasthmahealthy lifestylesasthma symptom controlrandomized controlled pilot studyEffectiveness of Smart Phone Applications in Improving Healthy Lifestyles and Health Outcomes for School-Age Children with Asthma---A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
