Summary

Uganda experiences high morbidity and costs due to uncontrolled asthma. Poor asthma control in adolescents is partly attributed to inadequate asthma education; indicating that education and self-management programs are essential components of asthma control. Adolescents with poorly controlled asthma are reported to have improved asthma control after using a smart phone application in outpatient setting studies. However, there is paucity of data on the effectiveness, feasibility and acceptability of smart phone applications in the control of asthma among adolescent secondary school students in low resource settings.
