Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥ 12 and ≤ 17 years.
  • Mild to severe persistent asthma or poorly controlled asthma. If a child has used a preventive medication in the past, but reports no use of the medication in the prior 3 months, we will assess severity.
  • Children not using a preventive medication at baseline: We will assess for mild persistent to severe persistent asthma. Any one of the following, during the prior 4 weeks (as defined by parent interview) will determine severity:
  • An average of \>2 days per week with asthma symptoms
  • \>2 days per week with rescue medication use
  • ≥2 nights per month awakened with nighttime symptoms
  • Minor limitation of activity
  • ≥2 episodes of asthma during the past year that have required systemic corticosteroids.
  • Children using a preventive medication at baseline: We will assess for poorly controlled asthma. Any 1 of the following, during the prior 4 weeks (as defined by parent interview in the waiting room) will determine control:
  • An average of \>2 days per week with asthma symptoms
  • \>2 days per week with rescue medication use
  • ≥2 nights per month awakened with nighttime symptoms
  • Some limitation of activity
  • ≥2 episodes of asthma during the past year that have required systemic corticosteroids.

Exclusion

  • Significant underlying respiratory disease other than asthma (such as cystic fibrosis or chronic lung disease) that could potentially interfere with asthma-related outcome measures.
  • Significant co-morbid conditions (such as moderate to severe developmental delay, i.e. special education classroom or diagnosis) that could preclude participation in an education-based intervention.
  • Inability to speak or understand English (child or parent).
  • Children in foster care or other situations in which consent cannot be obtained from a guardian.
  • Prior enrollment in the study.
