Standard Deviation 1.65

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 13 weeks

Measured by the Asthma Control Test (ACT), patient self-administered tool for identifying those with poorly controlled asthma. The ACT assesses the frequency of dyspnea and general asthma symptoms, use of rescue medications, the effect of asthma on daily functioning, and overall self-assessment of asthma control. 5 items with 4-week recall. The score range is 5-25 with \>19 representing good control and \<18 representing poor control.

Change in Asthma Control
1.67 Units on a scale
Standard Deviation 4

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 13 weeks

Measured by asthma symptom utility index (ASUI). The Asthma Symptom utility Index (ASUI) is a brief, interviewer-administered, patient preference-based scale assessing frequency and severity of asthma-related symptoms and treatment side effects. Number of items 11 items with 2 week recall. Scores range from 0 (worst possible symptoms) to 1 (no symptoms) Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) \> 0.09

Change in Asthma Symptoms
0.095 Units on a scale
Standard Deviation 0.2

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 13 weeks

Measured by spirometry. We measured forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity both in liters. FEV1 is a measure of airflow obstruction. The change in lung function is the change in these measurements compared to baseline.
