“…First, the before-mentioned cross-sectional studies (Zbikowski et al 2002;Van De Ven et al 2006) show that the relation between attitude towards smoking and PBC on the one hand and smoking behavior on the other is stronger among asthmatic adolescents. Secondly, cross-cultural differences in the performance of social cognitive theories have been found (Godin et al 1996).…”

“…This is even more important for adolescents with asthma, since the health risks of active smoking are higher for persons with asthma: smoking is related to an increase in symptoms of asthma (Siroux et al 2000), an increased risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) (George 1999), and a reduced efficacy of corticosteroid treatment (Chalmers et al 2002). Remarkably, several studies have found that smoking is more common among asthmatic adolescents (Forero et al 1996;Precht et al 2003;Zbikowski et al 2002), with asthmatic adolescents being up to 2.55 more likely to be daily smokers than non-asthmatic adolescents (Forero et al 1996).…”

A Longitudinal Test of the Theory of Planned Behavior Predicting Smoking Onset among Asthmatic and Non-asthmatic Adolescents

Despite the particularly detrimental health risks of smoking for adolescent with asthma, several studies demonstrated higher smoking rates among asthmatic adolescents than among healthy adolescents. To gain insight into underlying mechanisms, longitudinal studies on differences in smoking predictors between asthmatic and nonasthmatic adolescents are essential. This longitudinal study with two waves with an 18 months interval tests the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) among 346 asthmatic adolescents and 3,733 non-asthmatic adolescents aged 12-16 years. Structural equation models were used to test the predictive value of the TPB in these two groups. The results show, consistent with the TPB, that smoking-related cognitions (attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm) predict smoking onset via intention among both asthmatic and non-asthmatic adolescents. The TPB predicted smoking onset even stronger among adolescents with asthma. These findings may contribute to the development of tailored interventions for the prevention of smoking among asthmatic adolescents.

“…The prevalence of smoking among youth in grades 9 to 12 has declined in the past 8 years, but smoking among teenagers with asthma has emerged as a potentially important disease management issue (11)(12)(13)(14). Several publications cite smoking prevalence rates among adolescents with asthma higher than that of their non-asthma counterparts (13,14).…”

“…Several publications cite smoking prevalence rates among adolescents with asthma higher than that of their non-asthma counterparts (13,14). One US study found that students 15 to 18 years of age with asthma were 1.5 times more likely to smoke than peers without asthma (12).…”

Agreement Between Teenager and Caregiver Responses to Questions About Teenager's Asthma

It is unknown if teenagers and caregivers give similar responses when interviewed about the teen's asthma. We analyzed data for 63 urban African-American teen-caregiver pairs. Caregivers underestimated teen smoking by 30%, gave lower estimates for teen exposure to passive smoke, and disagreed with teens on controller medication usage. Teen-caregiver responses were not significantly different for estimates of symptom-days, activity limitations, or nights awakened; nor were they significantly different for report of emergency department visits or hospitalizations. Agreement was weak for perceived asthma control and severity. Teen-caregiver agreement on asthma depends on the type of information being sought.

“…An estimated 45.3 million people, or 19.3% of all adults (aged 18 years or older), in the United States smoke cigarettes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2011). Children of smokers are more likely to smoke themselves and adolescents with asthma are nearly 1.5 times more likely to smoke than their peers without asthma (Bailey, Hill, & Hawkins, 2006;Zbikowski, Klesges, Robinson, & Alfano, 2002).…”

Purpose Pregnant women with asthma have many concerns about their respiratory health, as well as the health of their baby. A woman's respiratory system experiences many physiological changes during pregnancy and when a diagnosis of asthma is present, the clinical effect of pregnancy on asthma is variable. Regardless of disease years, when asthma patients become pregnant, both patients and healthcare providers want to know how pregnancy affects asthma and how asthma may affect pregnancy outcomes. This article will review how to optimally manage asthma during pregnancy using an evidence‐based approach that recognizes the patient's changing needs. Data sources Literature collected from sources identified through searches of PubMed and CINAHL covering the periods from 1996 to 2012. Conclusion With the implementation of evidence‐based management and treatment, pregnant patients who have asthma can be positioned to better control their symptoms and avoid unwanted complications that may affect the health of their baby. Implications for practice Pregnant patients with asthma may be cared for in a variety of healthcare settings ranging from primary care to specialty care to the emergency department. Consequently, it is imperative that healthcare providers across the array of clinical venues be proficient on how to optimize the asthma outcomes of their pregnant patients.
