Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcome will be the uptake of the model of maternal asthma care. The number of women who undertake virtual maternal asthma care (as a proportion of those allocated this care) will be compared to the number who undertake face-to-face maternal asthma care (as a proportion of those allocated this care). The intervention providers will maintain a record of participants who attended the intervention. These records will be audited to assess the uptake of the intervention. [Both intervention sessions will be completed within 2 months from the enrolment. The uptake of intervention by each participant will be assessed at the completion of this intervention period. ]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Self-reported exacerbation control during the follow-up telephone interview [4 months after enrolment];Self-reported asthma symptom control assessed using Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-5)[4 months after enrolment];Feasibility and Acceptability – facilitators and barriers of implementation: qualitative interviews will be used to explore the facilitators and barriers of program implementation [4 months after enrolment];Intervention fidelity (i.e., the proportion of women who completed both appointments). The intervention providers will maintain a record of participants who attended the intervention. These records will be audited to assess the uptake of the intervention. <br><br>[Both intervention sessions will be completed within 2 months from the enrolment. The Intervention fidelity for each participant will be assessed at the completion of this intervention period. ];Participants’ satisfaction with the service will be assessed using Global Evaluation of Efficacy[4 months after enrolment]
