简要总结
This is a research study that compares the effectiveness of a web-based program (known as Puff City) and another web-based program (of internet sites such as the American Lung Association, American Academy of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology, etc) that targets five key asthma management issues among rural youth:
- Improving adherence to asthma controller medication use;
- Improving compliance of carrying a rescue inhaler at all times for use at the first sign of asthma symptoms;
- Improving inhaler technique;
- Smoking reduction or cessation in those who are smokers; and
- Avoidance of second-hand smoke exposure.
详细描述
A randomized control trial across three southeastern rural high schools comparing a web-based tailored intervention (known as Puff City) to web-based traditional control education sites.
