Abstract

Poor adherence to medications and other aspects of the treatment plan is common in pediatric patients with asthma, and is a common reason for inadequate asthma control. In selected patients we have used electronic monitoring of pulmonary function, behavior contracts, home nursing visits, and medical neglect reports in an attempt to improve adherence and asthma control. Improved outcomes were seen with the most aggressive intervention, home nursing, and medical neglect referral, but not with less aggressive measures.
