Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in Caregiver's asthma knowledge	Baseline, Week 3	The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's asthma knowledge will be assessed via the Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed by the caregiver and has 17 items with a total score range of 17-85 with a higher score indicating higher asthma knowledge.
Change in Caregiver's sleep	Baseline, Week 3	The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's sleep will be assessed via the Adult Sickle Cell Quality of Life Measurement (ASCQ-Me) Version 2.0 Sleep Impact - Short Form Questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed by the caregiver and has 5 items with each item having a scoring possibility of 1-5. The total score ranges from 5-25 with a higher score indicating better sleep.
Change in Caregiver's anxiety	Baseline, Week 3	The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's anxiety will be assessed via the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QOL ) Anxiety - Short Form Questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed by the caregiver and has 8 items with each item having a scoring possibility of 1-5. The total score ranges from 8-40 with a higher score indicating increased anxiety symptoms.
Change in Caregiver's depressive symptoms	Baseline, Week 3	The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's depressive symptoms will be assessed via the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Emotional Distress - Depression - Short Form 8a Questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed by the caregiver and has 8 items with each item having a scoring possibility of 1-5. The total score ranges from 8-40 with a higher score indicating increased depressive symptoms.
Performance of DNP students conducting the Teleheath Visits	Week 3	Performance of the DNP students conducting the telehealth visits will be evaluated by the average score rated by a faculty and a peer for each DNP. Each total score is tallied from 5 performance categories with each category having a scoring possibility of 0-3. The total score ranges from 0-15 with the higher score indicating a better performance.
Correlation of DNP student performance with family caregiver outcome	Week 3	The correlation of the performance of the DNP student providing the intervention will be evaluated against the caregiver's asthma knowledge, sleep, anxiety and depressive symptom outcomes.
