No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to help adolescents with asthma learn to control their illness and live without restrictions. We hypothesize that an intensive school-based asthma education program for students in 9th and 10th grade who have persistent asthma, together with asthma education for their primary care physicians, will improve the students' health status, quality of life, and ability to control their asthma through self-management.
