Managing AsThma AnD Obesity Related Symptoms (MATADORS) Feasibility Study

Participant retention and feasibility in completing the 4-week study

Number of participants lost to follow-up

Number of participants who self withdrew from the study

Number of completed end of study dyadic interviews

Change in Fatigue (measured by PROMIS Pediatric Fatigue)-Self-report of fatigue symptoms ranging from tiredness to overwhelming exhaustion. Low score indicates a low level of fatigue and a high score may represent extreme or debilitating levels of exhaustion. Scores above 65 suggest severe fatigue, 55-64 suggest moderate fatigue, 50-54 suggest mild fatigue, and scores less than 50 suggest fatigue scores that are within normal limits (with the lower the number representing healthier rates). 50 indicates the population mean with a standard deviation of 10

Change in Self-Efficacy (measured by Change in Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease-6 item scale). This is a 6-item instrument reported on an analog scale that highlights one's confidence in managing their chronic disease. Each item ranges from 1 (minimum; not confident at all) to 10 (maximum; extremely confident). Overall total scores range from 6-60. Minimum total score = 6 and maximum total score = 60. The higher the total score indicates the higher or better level of self-efficacy.

Change in asthma control (measured by Asthma Control Test). Scores range from 5 (poor control of asthma) to 25 (complete control of asthma), with higher scores reflecting greater asthma control. An ACT score >19 indicates well-controlled asthma.

Number of minutes active per day

Self-report of rescue and/or controller medication usage

Number of days reporting symptoms of fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression

Self-report of the number of days where the participant missed school, work, or activities

Number of steps taken per day based reported through activity tracker

Number of minutes of sleep per day as reported through activity tracker

Self-report on inability to concentrate

The instrument is a 15-item tool that uses a 5-point self-report scale to measure asthma self-efficacy in relation to daily asthma maintenance and an asthma crisis. A rating of 1 = little confidence whereas a rating of 5 = a high confidence level. Responses are averaged across items to indicate an overall score ranging between 1 (low confidence) to 5 (high confidence)

18-item instrument to assess the ability to read and understand common medical terms. The total score range is 0-18. A score between 0 and 14 suggests the examinee has low health literacy.
