Bradley Hasbro Children's Research Center
Enhancing Pediatric Asthma Education to Improve Adherence
Principal Investigator

Funding Sources
• National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
• American Lung Association
Description
This project is designed to improve medication use in children with
asthma. Our previous research has shown that children with asthma
take approximately half of their regularly prescribed asthma medications.
This project compares the efficacy of two interventions, standard
group-based asthma education alone, and education with the addition
of problem solving and goal-setting to improve the frequency of
medication use in children.
Significance
This research has the potential to increase appropriate medication
use, and as a result decrease asthma symptoms and health care utilization
for children with asthma.
