“…This review found that many guidelines and assessment tools were broadly adopted by a relatively large number of interventions, for example, the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program referenced across 15 (of the 85) interventions [ 10 - 12 , 16 - 18 , 20 - 22 , 37 - 42 ], the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines referenced across 13 interventions [ 43 - 55 ], and the Asthma Control Questionnaire referenced across 11 interventions [ 19 , 20 , 44 , 49 , 56 - 62 ].…”

“…With the aim to employ an evidence base to reduce asthma prevalence, morbidity, and mortality, the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) was launched in 1993 as a collaboration between the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the National Institutes of Health, and the World Health Organization [ 72 ]. The GINA guidelines were referenced in 13 of the 85 reviewed interventions [ 43 - 55 ].…”

“…Established in 1991, the ISAAC guidelines aimed to investigate asthma in the pediatric population as a measure to control the increasing conditions on the global scale [ 73 ]. Items from the ISAAC guidelines were included in the Lung Health Survey in four of the reviewed interventions [ 11 , 12 , 55 , 68 ].…”

“…In addition to the national and international guidelines, the review also identified a number of children-specific guidelines such as the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) [ 43 , 50 , 52 , 53 , 57 , 61 , 67 , 68 ], International Survey of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire [ 11 , 12 , 55 , 68 ], the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) [ 25 ], the Children’s Health Survey for Asthma (CHSA) by the American Academy of Pediatrics [ 70 ], and the Child Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) [ 52 , 53 , 68 ].…”

BackgroundThe high prevalence rate of asthma represents a major societal burden. Advancements in information technology continue to affect the delivery of patient care in all areas of medicine. Internet-based solutions, social media, and mobile technology could address some of the problems associated with increasing asthma prevalence.ObjectiveThis review evaluates Internet-based asthma interventions that were published between 2004 and October 2014 with respect to the use of behavioral change theoretical frameworks, applied clinical guidelines, and assessment tools.MethodsThe search term (Asthma AND [Online or Internet or Mobile or Application or eHealth or App]) was applied to six bibliographic databases (Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, BioMed Central, ProQuest Computing, Web of Knowledge, and ACM Digital Library) including only English-language articles published between 2004 and October 2014. In total, 3932 articles matched the priori search terms and were reviewed by the primary reviewer based on their titles, index terms, and abstracts. The matching articles were then screened by the primary reviewer for inclusion or exclusion based on their abstract, study type, and intervention objectives with respect to the full set of priori inclusion and exclusion criteria; 331 duplicates were identified and removed. A total of 85 articles were included for in-depth review and the remaining 3516 articles were excluded. The primary and secondary reviewer independently reviewed the complete content of the 85 included articles to identify the applied behavioral change theories, clinical guidelines, and assessment tools. Findings and any disagreement between reviewers were resolved by in-depth discussion and through a consolidation process for each of the included articles.ResultsThe reviewers identified 17 out of 85 interventions (20%) where at least one model, framework, and/or construct of a behavioral change theory were applied. The review identified six clinical guidelines that were applied across 30 of the 85 interventions (35%) as well as a total of 21 assessment tools that were applied across 32 of the 85 interventions (38%).ConclusionsThe findings of this literature review indicate that the majority of published Internet-based interventions do not use any documented behavioral change theory, clinical guidelines, and/or assessment tools to inform their design. Further, it was found that the application of clinical guidelines and assessment tools were more salient across the reviewed interventions. A consequence, as such, is that many Internet-based asthma interventions are designed in an ad hoc manner, without the use of any notable evidence-based theoretical frameworks, clinical guidelines, and/or assessment tools.
