It's not suitable for those with developmental disorders, other chronic diseases besides asthma or allergic disease, serious mental illness, cognitive deficits, or who receive school-administered daily controller medication.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is examining the effectiveness of a Technology-Assisted Stepped Care (TASC) intervention aimed at improving medication adherence among teenagers with asthma. Participants will either receive this new TASC intervention or continue with their usual treatment plan.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the TASC intervention involves technology-assisted care rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be indirect effects related to changes in treatment adherence that could affect asthma control.
