Promoting Asthma Wellness in Rural Communities

This is a research study that compares the effectiveness of a web-based program (known as Puff City) and another web-based program (of internet sites such as the American Lung Association, American Academy of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology, etc) that targets five key asthma management issues among rural youth: 1. Improving adherence to asthma controller medication use; 2. Improving compliance of carrying a rescue inhaler at all times for use at the first sign of asthma symptoms; 3. Improving inhaler technique; 4. Smoking reduction or cessation in those who are smokers; and 5. Avoidance of second-hand smoke exposure.
