Refined ADEPT: Human Augmentics for Sustained Wellbeing
This study has two main goals. The first goal is to test whether a mobile phone intervention
can increase adherence to daily inhaled steroid medications in African American adolescents
prescribed this type of medication by his/her asthma doctor. The second goal is to use a
mobile phone intervention to better understand real life patterns of use of quick-relief
(beta2-adrenergic agonist) asthma medication in this population.
