What is the purpose of this trial?

Depressive disorders are highly prevalent among older adults with asthma and are associated with poor asthma outcomes. The overall objective of this study is to integrate an asthma self-management support program that the research team previously developed with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for adherence and depression for older adults with uncontrolled asthma and a comorbid depressive disorder. The research team will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and preliminary impact of the intervention on asthma and depression outcomes.
