The potential benefits of this research to public health include improved understanding of
cultural factors in pediatric asthma self-management, improved self-management skills for
children, and better asthma management skills for their parents. This could result in eased
suffering and improved quality of life for millions of children and their families, and also
reduce the economic burden borne by society in the forms of medical expenditures and lost
productivity.

This proposal will create an interactive multimedia (IMM) program designed to support the
self-management efforts of asthmatic children aged 5-10 years and their families. This
behavior change program will be designed to promote self-management by (a) increasing child
and caregiver knowledge about asthma, (b) encouraging compliance with medication protocols
and environmental controls, and (c) increasing self-efficacy to create and implement an
Asthma Action Plan.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Children aged 5-10 with physican-diagnosed asthma and who had been prescribed any

and children needed to have access to an internet- and video-capable computer, and
the parent needed to have a valid e-mail address in order to receive study-related
correspondence.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Only English-speaking participants were accepted because the program was developed
only for English speakers. Children less than 5 years of age and older than 10 were
excluded because the program is developed targeted to the developmental abilities and
interests of children aged 5-10. There were no exclusions based on race/ethnicity.
