Summary

Little guidance is given to physicians caring for obese adolescents with asthma, however, findings suggest that interventions designed to achieve asthma control in these patients are necessary. Because of the psychosocial factors often associated with obesity and asthma (e.g., low self-esteem, depression, and low quality of life) successful interventions should incorporate a patient-centered approach. The proposed study design is a clinic-based, randomized controlled trial (RCT) in teens with a history of asthma and who are overweight or obese.
