Adolescents have higher asthma rates and poorer self-management skills. The Asthma Self-Management for Adolescents (ASMA) program shows promise in engaging teens with persistent asthma.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Adolescent Health
  • Health Behavior

Background:

  • Asthma prevalence is increasing in adolescents, surpassing that in children.
  • Adolescents exhibit deficient asthma self-management skills, leading to increased exacerbations and reduced quality of life.
  • Existing self-management programs are insufficient for the adolescent population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the influence of developmental transitions on adolescent asthma self-management.
  • To introduce the Asthma Self-Management for Adolescents (ASMA) program.
  • To present preliminary data on the ASMA program's effectiveness in engaging adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of developmental transitions (cognition, knowledge, autonomy, identity, peer relations) impacting asthma management.

  • Description of the school-based Asthma Self-Management for Adolescents (ASMA) program.
  • Presentation of preliminary enrollment and engagement data.

    • Main Results:

    • Developmental transitions present unique challenges and opportunities for asthma self-management in adolescents.
    • The ASMA program is designed to be age-appropriate and integrate developmental considerations.
    • Preliminary data indicate successful enrollment and engagement of adolescents with persistent asthma in the ASMA program.

    Conclusions:

    • Adolescent asthma self-management requires tailored approaches considering developmental factors.
    • The ASMA program demonstrates potential for improving asthma management in adolescents.
    • Further research is warranted to evaluate the long-term impact of the ASMA program.
