No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Despite the clear and often stated need, a formal transition program does not exist for asthma patients as they move from pediatric to adult care in Western Canada. This population is not having their health care needs met. The investigators proposed study would evaluate a well structured transition program designed to facilitate continuity of care for this at risk patient population.

Primary hypothesis: A pediatric-to-adult asthma transition program will improve the asthma-specific quality of life of young asthma patients in the Calgary area over a 1 year period.

Secondary hypothesis: A pediatric-to-adult asthma transition program will improve asthma control, decrease asthma exacerbations, and reduce health care utilization in young asthma patients in the Calgary area over a 1 year period.
