A Coping Skills Program for Children With Asthma

The Asthma Control Test assesses symptom control and impairment due to asthma (e.g., "how often have you had shortness of breath"). The ACT has versions for children ages 4-11 and 12 and older and is responsive to clinical change.

The Asthma Therapy Assessment Questionnaire (cATAQ) is a parent-report questionnaire; the symptom control subscale assesses children's asthma control (e.g., "wheezing or difficulty breathing") and shows good reliability and validity.

The PedsQL is a brief and standardized questionnaire that assesses parents' perceptions of health-related quality of life for children with chronic health conditions. Parents will complete the parent report of child. Generic Core Scales of the PedsQL measure quality of life in physical, social, emotional and school domains (e.g., "it is hard for me to do chores around the house"; "it is hard to keep up when I play with other kids"), while the Asthma Module includes asthma-specific concerns related to symptoms and treatment (e.g., "I have trouble using my inhaler").

FEV1 is the amount of air an individual can force from their lungs in one second and is a measure of lung function in pediatric asthma. FEV1 will be measured using a spirometer. Child participants will forcefully exhale their maximal amount of air in one second. Participants will perform 3-8 forced expiration maneuvers and the mean of the best three measurements will be used.

The Response to Stress Questionnaire - Pediatric Asthma Version (RSQ) is a questionnaire with parallel forms for youth self-report, parent report of child, and parent self-report, and yields scores for Primary Control Coping and Secondary Control Coping. The RSQ is appropriate for ages 9 and older, has been validated cross-culturally, has strong psychometric properties, and shows sensitivity to change as a mediator of coping skills interventions. Parents will complete the parent self-report form to assess their own coping.

The Family Asthma Management Symptom Scale (FAMSS) is a semi-structured clinical interview administered jointly to youth (school-aged and older) and parents to assess family asthma management. The FAMSS captures adherence to asthma self-management behaviors such as symptom monitoring, trigger avoidance, and medication and healthcare use within the context of the family. It shows good reliability and is correlated with objective measures of management such as electronically monitored adherence.
