Project HealthDesign: BreathEasy - A Personal Health Record Application For Adults With Asthma, 2011-2012 (ICPSR 36027)
Released/updated on: 2024-02-14
Geographic coverage: Virginia, Richmond
Time period: 2011-01-01--2012-01-01
Asthma is a chronic illness that affects more than 23 million adults in the United States. In addition to respiratory symptoms associated with the disease, individuals with asthma are also more likely to experience depression and anxiety. The BreathEasy team designed a mobile application built on the latest clinical guidelines for treatment and self-monitoring for patients with asthma. Patients with asthma used the application on smartphones to capture and report observations of daily living (ODLs) such as use of controller and rescue medications, asthma symptoms (including peak flow rates), depression and anxiety symptoms, encounters with asthma triggers, physical activity levels (including accelerometer based data), sleeping problems, and smoking. Clinicians used a web based dashboard with simple analysis and visualization tools that allowed them to quickly view the patients' data, evaluate their health statuses, and communicate changes in treatment or monitoring. This data collection contains the ODL data recorded by the patients.

Springfield [Massachusetts] Study of Populations with Disabilities, 1993-1997 (ICPSR 2623)
Released/updated on: 2024-02-14
Geographic coverage: United States, Massachusetts, Springfield
This two-wave longitudinal survey of persons with disabilities in Springfield, Massachusetts, had four research objectives: (1) to determine levels of formal and informal service use among people with disabilities in Springfield, (2) to determine the prevalence and consequences of unmet needs for assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), (3) to test the hypothesis that residents reporting unmet needs for assistance with daily living activities at baseline would have higher levels of emergency room use and hospitalization over the follow-up period than respondents not reporting such needs, and (4) to assess respondents' satisfaction with access to and quality of their health care and health care providers. Conducted in 1993-1994 and 1996-1997, the survey gathered information on health, health service utilization, satisfaction with health services, assistance with ADLs (eating, dressing, bathing, toileting, transferring in and out of bed/chair, and moving around indoors) and IADLs (preparing meals, shopping for groceries and household supplies, housekeeping, transportation, and financial management), social and physical activity, social support, health care coverage, and sociodemographic characteristics such as income, year of birth, marital status, race, Hispanic origin, religion, education, and employment.
