Summary
This study tests a 24-week lifestyle physical activity program designed for Black women with asthma. Participants are randomly assigned to either the activity program (group sessions, activity tracking, and text support) or an asthma education control group. The goal is to see if the program improves asthma control and quality of life, and whether any benefits last for an additional 24 weeks.
