Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Child Inhaler Technique Score

Measured using the Children's Hospital Colorado Inhaler Technique Coaching Tool. The tool uses a 0-10 point scale, where 0 indicates no correct steps and 10 indicates all steps performed correctly. Higher scores indicate better technique.

Time frame: Within 1 hour following completion of the education session

Medication Adherence (Neuro-Quality of Life Medication Adherence Short Form 6a Score)

Medication adherence will be assessed using the Neuro-Quality of Life Medication Adherence Short Form 6a, a 6-item patient-reported outcome measure. Scores range from 6-30. Scores are reported as standardized T scores. Higher T scores indicate better medication adherence.

Time frame: Baseline, 2-4 months, and 5-7 months post-intervention

Asthma Control (Childhood Asthma Control Test)

Asthma control will be assessed using the Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) for children 4 to 11 years), a 7-item patient-reported measure. The C-ACT produces a total score ranging from 0 to 27. Item responses are summed with higher scores indicating better asthma control.

Time frame: Baseline, 2-4 months, and 5-7 months post-intervention

Caregiver Illness Burden (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Illness Burden - Short Form 6a)

Caregiver illness burden will be assessed using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Illness Burden - Short Form 6a, a 6-item patient-reported measure. Scoring ranges from 6-30. Item responses are summed and converted to a standardized T-score (mean = 50, standard deviation = 10) with higher T-scores indicating greater illness burden.

Time frame: Baseline, 2-4 months, and 5-7 months post-intervention

Healthcare Utilization

Healthcare utilization will be assessed using the Healthcare Utilization Survey, a 4-item caregiver-reported measure, ranging from 4-20. Healthcare utilization is assessed as the number of times the child has visited a healthcare facility (total number of visits indicated by the caregiver), with higher values indicating higher healthcare utilization.
