Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Asthma: It's a Family Affair!

Intervention families will receive a comprehensive program with two complementary components: (1) a school-based intervention to empower middle school students to manage their asthma and (2) parent training to teach their caregivers childrearing skills that support the youth's growing autonomy and need to self-manage their disease. The student component is comprised of 6, 60 minute group workshops; the caregiver component consists of 5, 90-minute group workshops.

BEHAVIORAL

Asthma and Stress Comparator

Caregivers assigned to the Asthma and Stress Comparator group will receive a single educational workshop focusing on the developmental changes adolescents experience, how these changes may cause stress, and ways to cope with stress. The children will also participate in a single school-based session on similar topics. Both caregivers and students will learn basic asthma facts.
