What barriers does my child name when we discuss taking part in asthma care?

This article examines what children and caregivers consider difficult about sharing asthma self-management. Taking part in one task and assuming responsibility for a whole routine are different milestones for families to discuss.

Who was studied?

School-age children with asthma and parents contributing to focus groups.

Age / stage: Ages 6–11

Read with three questions

  1. What does the article establish about what children and caregivers consider difficult about sharing asthma self-management?
  2. Who supplied the account, and where did participants describe a different experience from one another?
  3. How closely does the population described here match the family or setting you have in mind? The population to compare is school-age children with asthma and parents contributing to focus groups.

Keep the limits in view

The accounts show how the participants understood these experiences. They do not estimate how common those experiences are among other families.
