Piloting co-developed behaviour change interventions to reduce exposure to air pollution and improve self-reported asthma-related health.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exposure to air pollution can exacerbate asthma with immediate and long-term health consequences. Behaviour changes can reduce exposure to air pollution, yet its 'invisible' nature often leaves individuals unaware of their exposure, complicating the identification of appropriate behaviour modifications. Moreover, making health behaviour changes can be challenging, necessitating additional support from healthcare professionals.

Objective

This pilot study used personal exposure monitoring, data feedback, and co-developed behaviour change interventions with individuals with asthma, with the goal of reducing personal exposure to PM_2.5 and subsequently improving asthma-related health.

Methods

Twenty-eight participants conducted baseline exposure monit
