简要总结
Background: Pediatric asthma is the most common chronic illness among children and is associated with poor quality of life, activity restriction, school absences, and thousands of physician visits annually. The purpose of this study is to measure the effectiveness of using an innovative tracking system (CareTRx) for the self-management of asthma, including daily and rescue medication use, among children and adolescents with pediatric asthma.
详细描述
The primary study objective is to measure the effectiveness of using an innovative tracking system (CareTRx) for the self-management of asthma, including daily and rescue medication use, among children with asthma. The study objectives will be achieved using a pre-post design for the participants. The investigators aim to enroll at least 26 participants for a 3-month intervention period. With this pilot study, the investigators hope to examine the impact of self-management behaviors on health outcomes including asthma symptoms and quality of life measures.
