A Computer-Based ED Intervention to Improve Pediatric Asthma Medicine Adherence

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Asthma

In brief

Asthma is common in children and impacts their health. There are effective medications for improving asthma, but some families have difficulty using medicines on a regular basis. This study in the emergency department will improve medicine use for children 2-12 years-old with asthma by developing content for a customized, tablet-based electronic intervention. A clinical trial will then be used to compare asthma outcomes for this intervention with routine asthma care.
