The adolescents in the peer or adults were given online interactive education concerning allergic asthma and the management thereof. The control group received only usual training.Data were collected using an Adolescent Personal Data Form, the State Anxiety Inventory for Children, the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children and Adolescents with Asthma, the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, and the Disease Knowledge and Management Questionnaire.

Primary Outcome Measures

Self-Efficacy (SES)	10 months	The SES determines the degree of self-confidence of children and adolescents with asthma in taking precautions against their disease and in seeking medical assistance. This scale has 22 items. The highest possible score is 110 and the powest possible score is 22. The cut-off point score is 88. Accordingly, a score below 88 is interpreted as indicating low self-efficacy, while a score of 88 or above is interpreted as indicating high self-efficacy
