Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the potential benefit of Pictorial versus Written Asthma Action Plans (AAPs) to support asthma management among young people with persistent asthma. Participants will be randomly allocated to the Pictorial or Written AAP group and followed up over a 6-month period. Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected from young people, parents and clinical teams involved in recruitment to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the Pictorial AAP (PAAP) software developed for this study, the PAAPs produced by the software, and the study procedures.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Pictorial Asthma Action PlanExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Young people in the Pictorial Asthma Action Plan (PAAP) arm will receive a PAAP generated by their asthma provider using a software program developed for the study. The PAAP will be personalized according to the young person's gender, race, favorite sport/activity, provider's gender, provider's clinic contact details, and hospital in emergency situations. The PAAP contains minimal text, instead illustrating each participant's asthma regimen using pictures, such as color-coded daily controller and rescue inhalers. Each participant will receive multiple copies of their PAAP, after receiving a brief education session with their provider, outlining the treatment summarized in the PAAP.
Group II: Written Asthma Action PlanActive Control1 Intervention
Young people in the Written Asthma Action Plan (WAAP) arm will receive a WAAP generated by their asthma provider using using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) template. The WAAP will be personalized according to the young person's treatment plan. Each participant will receive multiple copies of their WAAP, after receiving a brief education session with their provider, outlining the treatment summarized in the WAAP.
