Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this randomized crossover study is to determine the efficacy of participant designed medication reminders on asthma control, asthma related quality of life,and medication adherence. In addition, this study will provide data regarding the usage, usability, acceptability of an online system designed for creating text message reminders. It is hypothesized that the teens receiving text message reminders will report having greater quality of life related to their asthma, a reported increase in the control of their asthma, and increased adherence to their medication regimen compared to those teens that are not receiving the text message reminders.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Adolescents are typically less adept at managing chronic illnesses and adhering to treatment plans than are parents of younger children. Adolescents are also typically "early adopters" to technological solutions and text messages are integral in today's teen culture. Text messages are gaining acceptance in health care both as appointment reminders and direct inquiries. The purpose of this randomized crossover study is to examine the effect of participant designed medication reminders on asthma control, asthma related quality of life, and medication adherence. In addition, this study will provide data regarding the usage, usability, and acceptability of an online system designed for creating text message reminders.

Comparison 1st

Not enrolled in the CMSText website text messaging system during last 3 months of study participation.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Participant 1st

Enrollment in the CMSText website text messaging system during first 3 months of study participation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Text Message Reminders

Intervention Type OTHER

During baseline (Participant 1st Arm) or Month 3 Visit (Comparison 1st Arm), the study staff member will demonstrate for the teen how to log-on to the calendar system and set up reminders. Teens will be able to set their own reminders and add other reminders in addition to those that are asthma related.
