简要总结
Financial incentives have been suggested as a possible means for increasing adherence to asthma medications. This study will evaluate an incentive strategy (daily small reward for adherence) in maintaining high levels of adherence as tracked by adherence sensors in adolescents with asthma.
详细描述
Two groups will be enrolled. The control group will have mediation monitoring sensors placed on their controller inhalers. The treatment group will also have the monitoring sensors placed on their medications, however they will be paid up to $1 per day for perfect adherence for 3 months. Both groups will be monitored for 4 months. 10 subjects will be chosen from each group to complete semi-structured phone interviews
